Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.42
Severity: wishlist
Apticron uses the "hostname" command to provide identifying information to
place in the email sent to the admin.
On a newly installed server this was giving cron output which was confusing due
to the hostname not being resolvable.
The hostname command manual page suggests that "hostname -i" be replaced with
"hostname --all-ip-addresses" and
"hostname -f" be replaced with "hostname --all-fqdns" to avoid this issue.
Doing this removed the warnings from cron and gave useful identifying
information for
the email.
diff apticron.orig apticron
85c85
< SYSTEM=`/bin/hostname -f`
---
> SYSTEM=`/bin/hostname --all-fqdns`
105c105
< IPADDRESSES=`(echo $( /bin/hostname -i ) ;
---
> IPADDRESSES=`(echo $( /bin/hostname --all-ip-addresses ) ;
This results in:
apticron has detected that some packages need upgrading on:
109-231-72-75.flexiscale.com
[ 109.231.72.75 ]
When "hostname -i" and "-f" were producing warnings.
And the expected output:
apticron has detected that some packages need upgrading on:
disraeli.zynet.net
[ 109.231.72.75 ]
When I ensured that /etc/hosts has the correct entry for 109.231.72.75
I haven't tested on a machine with multiple IP addresses, or on one with IPv6
enabled.
