package: drupal5
version: 5.5-1
severity: important
Drupal has the following recommendations for cronjobs (http://drupal.org/cron):
--snip--
For a modest personal site to which you post now and then, you might set up
such a cron job to run once a day.
For a more active site you'd likely want to run that job more often--perhaps
every few hours or every hour.
--snap--
The cronjob in /etc/cron.d/drupal5 runs every 5 minutes, which is unnecessary
and also leads to a flood of
emails if something is going wrong (Apache down, multisite setup without base
url, Database down, ...).
There is also no need for defining base_url in settings.cfg as this is an
optional setting.
Please rewrite the cronjob to amend these problems and/or disable it by default.
Note: I used a backport, but that shouldn't make a difference.
Regards
Racke
