is something wrong with cron.d ?
Hi, I have added a cron task to my package via the package xxx.cron file. (I am using sid) However, it never gets executed (not exactly true, it happened to occur once...) In my syslog file I can see: Apr 12 13:04:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[2999]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD (/etc/cron.d/xgrid) Apr 12 13:10:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[2999]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD (/etc/cron.d/xgrid) Apr 12 13:17:01 VM-247 /USR/SBIN/CRON[3384]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Apr 12 13:20:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[2999]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD (/etc/cron.d/xgrid) Apr 12 13:24:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[2999]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD (/etc/cron.d/xgrid) Apr 12 13:29:48 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[3478]: (CRON) INFO (pidfile fd = 3) Apr 12 13:29:48 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[3479]: (CRON) STARTUP (fork ok) Apr 12 13:29:48 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[3479]: (CRON) INFO (Skipping @reboot jobs -- not system startup) Apr 12 13:46:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[3479]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD (/etc/cron.d/xgrid) My cron file /etc/cron.d/xgrid is correctly loaded ( I tried to update it several times to force reload). I even tried to reboot cron service (last lines). But it never gets executed Here is my cron file: root@VM-247:# more /etc/cron.d/xgrid 0/5 * * * * root xgrid-graph >/dev/null 2>&1 I added a blank line after my cron definition (or a comment line) as I have seen there were issues with issues (don(t know if it is still true). If I execute the command manually it works fine. And anyway, error should appear in syslog. could someone tell me if I did something wrong or if it is a cron issue thanks Olivier -- gpg key id: 4096R/326D8438 (keyring.debian.org) Key fingerprint = 5FB4 6F83 D3B9 5204 6335 D26D 78DC 68DB 326D 8438 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

STUPID ME!!! I have spent hours looking for bugs, issues, looking at files not seeing the syntax error "0/5"... Sorry for the noise...

For what is worth, this has been discussed at length in #546743 and is
now documented as the #661002 bug against lsb-base.
Please note that #661002 "lsb-base:/lib/lsb/init-functions may fail if
`set -e` is used" is tagged as +help: patches are welcome and could
eventually lead to a fix in policy.
(Deciding whether energy should be put in functions for SysVinit is up
to each reader.)
Cheers,

Bug#668525: ITP: scas -- Site central authorization service
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Dennis van Dok * Package name: scas Version : 0.3.6 Upstream Author : Nikhef Grid Security Middleware Team * URL : https://wiki.nikhef.nl/grid/Site_Access_Control * License : Apache 2 Programming Lang: C Description : Site central authorization service The Site Central Authorization Service (SCAS) will make authorization and mapping decision centrally. It uses HTTPS authentication to authenticate a client (as regular user or pilot job user) and present user credentials. The return message will contain a deny of permit decision, and when permitted Unix UID, primary GID and secondary GIDs will be returned. The primary client tool is gLExec, but the client is actually an LCMAPS plugin, so other tools like all the pre-WS GT4 gatekeepers, gridftpd and gsi-opensshd tools can also utilize this client server interaction. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
