Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.42
Severity: normal
Hi,
I have two messages from apticron per day. The timestamp logic is broken
somewhat. I noticed, that /etc/cron.daily/apticron executes apticron
without option --cron (that was there in Lenny package).
-------------------- /etc/cron.d/apticron --------------------
# cron entry for apticron
15 7 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/apticron && /usr/sbin/apticron --cron
-------------------- /etc/cron.d/apticron --------------------
-------------------- /etc/cron.daily/apticron --------------------
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -x /usr/sbin/apticron ] ; then
exit 0
else
/usr/sbin/apticron
fi
-------------------- /etc/cron.daily/apticron --------------------
The timestamp logic of /usr/sbin/apticron is processed only with
the option --cron.
Maybe a simple testing a date (date +%Y%m%d) written info timestamp file
maybe a bit easier than mtime processing used currently.
today=$(date +%Y%m%d)
read lastrun <$tsfile >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
if test "x$today" = "x$lastrun"
then
exit 0
else
echo $today >$tsfile
fi
Best regards
