2010-02-25 10:55:41 Loïc Minier description Binary package hint: logcheck-database Ubuntu 9.10, upgraded from 9.04. logcheck-database 1.2.69 from karmic/main logcheck is supposed to suppress cron lines that just log "CMD", according to /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid/cron which contains: ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ /USR/SBIN/CRON\[[0-9]+\]: \([_[:alnum:]-]+\) CMD \(.*\)$ This used to work on 9.04, however, on 9.10 CRON no longer logs its full path name, example from /var/log/syslog: Oct 29 17:50:01 host1 CRON[8504]: (user1) CMD (/usr/local/bin/getmail -r /home/user1/.getmail/getmailrc) Which makes these lines appear in the logs. Annoying for jobs on a 5-minute basis... Suggested fix: adjust the filter line from /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid/cron shown above and remove the /USR/SBIN part. logcheck reports all logs from CRON since the switch to rsyslog; the regexp requires /usr/sbin/cron or /USR/SBIN/CRON, but rsyslog logs cron or CRON Impact: installs with logcheck get emails very frequently (for each matching CRON log) Bug was addressed by updating the RE to make the /usr/sbin part optional. TEST CASE: Install logcheck, wait for some CRON entries in your syslog, wait for logcheck's cron to run, see whether you get an email. Regression potential: People with local changes need to merge conffiles.
