Bug Description
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS "jammy"
The cron.daily script fails to run:
$ sudo /etc/cron.
+ PROG=/usr/
+ [ ! -x /usr/bin/
/etc/cron.
The arithmetic expression in question is:
sleep $(( $RANDOM/100 ))
--
Which works fine in bash, but does not work in /bin/sh (pointing to dash by default)
The shebang in the daily cron script is:
#!/bin/sh
