Public bug reported: Whenever flashplugin-installer installs a new version, the cron system sends a mail to root:
/etc/cron.daily/update-notifier-common: flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.425.orig.tar.gz Installing from local file /tmp/tmphusER_.gz Flash Plugin installed. This isn't appropriate to mail root about. /usr/lib/flashplugin- installer/install_plugin sends some output to stdout, which is probably reasonable. I believe the problem here is that the /etc/cron.daily /update-notifier-common script doesn't redirect stdout to some other place. ** Affects: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402183 Title: Unimportant update notifications are sent to root from cron script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/1402183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
