Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
I like to run my system with dbus stopped (but I still have dbus
installed). I get a daily e-mail warning:
/etc/cron.daily/apt:
Failed to open connection to system message bus: Failed to connect to socket
/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
This deluge of useless warnings has made me ignore all cron-originated
mail, ultimately leading to loss of data (the daily backup system wasn't
working, and I didn't realize it).
The following snippet in /etc/cron.daily/apt should redirect output to
/dev/null, so that dbus-send errors are ignored:
if which dbus-send >/dev/null; then
dbus-send --system / app.apt.dbus.updated boolean:true
Surely dbus-send errors are not something to bother the admin about,
right?
