Today I was running a license scan with Fossology 1.0 when my Apache
server stopped unexpectedly.  I started looking around in my logs to see
if I could figure out what caused it and found this in my syslog right
around the time of the crash:

 

Mar  3 11:39:01 engsrv3 cron[6236]: Error: bad username; while reading
/etc/cron.d/Fossology

 

Here are the contents of /etc/cron.d/Fossology:

 

# this cron should be run daily by user postgres for fossology database

#

# Copyright (C) 2007 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

 

#

# cluster

0 0 * * * if [ -x /usr/bin/clusterdb ]; then /usr/bin/clusterdb
--username postgres fossology >/dev/null; fi

#

# Run VACUUM ANALYSE on all databases every 5 hours if pg_autovacuum is
not

# running

0 3 * * * if [ -x /usr/sbin/pg_maintenance ]; then
/usr/sbin/pg_maintenance --full --analyze >/dev/null; fi

 

I saw it a few more times after that as well:

 

Mar  3 11:39:01 engsrv3 cron[6236]: Error: bad username; while reading
/etc/cron.d/fossology

Mar  3 11:42:01 engsrv3 cron[6236]: Error: bad username; while reading
/etc/cron.d/fossology

Mar  3 11:49:01 engsrv3 cron[6236]: Error: bad username; while reading
/etc/cron.d/fossology

Mar  3 11:51:01 engsrv3 cron[6236]: Error: bad username; while reading
/etc/cron.d/Fossology

 

Two questions:  1) could this be related to my Apache crash in anyway?
2) what does this mean?

 

I'm running on Ubuntu 8.04.2 (Hardy)  64bit. 

 

Thanks,
