Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-86 Severity: wishlist Hi,
It's sometimes difficult to distinguish between output from the different jobs run as part of cron.daily. For instance, a recent email I received contained these lines: run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/bugzilla exited with return code 1 /etc/cron.daily/ntpdate: 27 Dec 06:29:18 ntpdate[26274]: step time server 128.105.37.11 offset -5.239138 sec /etc/cron.daily/register_dns: ez-ipupdate Version 3.0.11b8 . . . You'll notice that three different jobs were run in this example. However, because the output from all three scripts runs together, it's a little difficult to read the email. In this case, I missed the bugzilla error for a couple of days. It would be great if run-parts could visually distinguish between output from each job that is run. Possible options include a blank line between jobs, a ruler (----, ====) between jobs, or perhaps a ruler and start/stop timestamp around each job. Anything that would make it easier to diffentiate between output from two consecutive jobs would help me. Thanks!
