I see the change to appending "true" has been applied to the script, however it still produces the following "confusing" output.
date: invalid date `1:32' date: invalid date `@' touch: invalid date format `' I believe removing the "--cron" check and option entirely may be the correct solution. Vixie cron correctly handles scheduling of tasks during daylight saving transitions*. Is this a feature that was added to work around former bugs in vixie cron? As it use to run jobs twice in the transition out of daylight saving but this is long fixed. I've modified our machine that does this now runs it outside the period when Daylight saving (Summer time we call it here) transition takes place so is no longer an issue here till they change when Daylight saving transition takes place again. Simon * There could be an issue with multiple servers running jobs at the same time at the end of a step forward into daylight saving however I don't think by default apticron does anything except check local state of the machine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
