Dear Maintainer,
issue root cause is /etc/cron.d/wdt :
<content>
MAILTO=''
* * * * * root /usr/bin/ipmiutil wdt -r > /usr/bin/ipmiutil wdt.lastrun 2&>1
</content>
As you seen, this command is run every minute, and re-write /usr/bin/ipmiutil,
who is binary.
On 2nd run, /usr/bin/ipmiutil size become 0 byte.
"/usr/bin/ipmiutil" is the main program of "ipmiutil" package, so it's no more
usable.
Workaround: Comment this line with a "#":
<content>
#MAILTO=''
#* * * * * root /usr/bin/ipmiutil wdt -r > /usr/bin/ipmiutil wdt.lastrun 2&>1
</content>
For information, here "/usr/bin/ipmiutil wdt -r" output :
<output>
ipmiutil wdt ver 3.18
-- BMC version 2.40, IPMI version 2.0
wdt data: 04 01 00 00 dc 05 00 00
Watchdog timer is stopped for use with SMS/OS. Logging

ipmiutil wdt, completed successfully
</output>
Finally, "/usr/bin/ipmiutil wdt.lastrun" has no effect (unsupported option).
In order to fix this issue, "/etc/cron.d/wdt" should be modified (I'm not sure
of this cron's file goal).
Thanks for you help.
Best regards,
Olivier
