Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-105 Severity: normal man cron says: A higher loglevel (2) will cause cron to log also the end of all cronjobs, which can be useful to audit the behaviour of tasks run by cron.
in fact, the logged pid on startup ist higher than the pid of the terminated cron job. Mostly it's off by one but on a rather loaded system the difference might be more than that. Unfortunately this is exactly when you would really need this feature to work precisely so one could reliably correlate the start- and stop-times of every job. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (1001, 'stable'), (100, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-vserver-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cron depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.7-18lenny6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam0g 1.0.1-5+lenny1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 2.0.65-5 SELinux shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages cron recommends: ii postfix [mail-transport-agent 2.5.5-1.1 High-performance mail transport ag Versions of packages cron suggests: pn anacron <none> (no description available) pn checksecurity <none> (no description available) ii lockfile-progs 0.1.11-0.1 Programs for locking and unlocking ii logrotate 3.7.1-5 Log rotation utility -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
