and the like, and ends up reporting zeros for results. Another
machine with the same sa-stats.pl (and an earlier version as well)
works just fine. Both machines are running Fedora Core 4 with Perl
v5.8.6, but the one difference I found is in Parse::Syslog. The
machine that works has v1.03. The one that blows up has v1.09.
I can't tell if it's Parse::Syslog that is broken, or sa-stats.pl is
failing to take advantage of a new feature of Parse::Syslog.
On both machines, sa-stats.pl is called from a script in
/etc/cron.daily/sa-stats thusly:
#!/bin/sh
# Set a 24-year period.
start=`date -d yesterday`
# to today
end=`date`
/usr/local/sbin/sa-stats -s "$start" -e "$end"
Has anyone else experienced or fixed this?
Cheers,
Same problem here.
