1 Hi all,
2
3 I have the following cron script on stable hardened amd64:
4
5 #!/bin/bash
6 # /etc/cron.daily/syncportage.sh script
7 emerge --sync 2>&1
8 # end /etc/cron.daily/syncportage.sh script
9
10 together with the following setting in root's fcrontab (almost exactly
11 like vixie-cron's crontab):
12
13 #begin crontab
14 # Global variables
15 SHELL=/bin/bash
16 PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
17 MAILTO=root
18 HOME=/
19 # check scripts in cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly and cron.monthly
20 59 * * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly
21 9 3 * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily
22 19 4 * * 6 root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.weekly
23 29 5 1 * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.monthly
24 */10 * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons
25 #end fcrontab
26
27 The resulting fcron mail has the strange structure:
28
29 * Welcome message from (mirror)
30 * receiving incremental file list
31 * timestamp.chk
32 * rsync statistics (Number of files, ... , speedup)
33 * Welcome message from (mirror)
34 * receiving incremental file list
35 * deleting .ebuild.x; a list of files transferred
36 * rsync statistics
37 * q: Updating ebuild cache ...
38 * q: Finished (number) entries in (time) seconds
39 * >>> Starting rsync with (mirror)
40 * >>> Checking server timestamp ...
41
42 Am I doing something wrong? I'd expect the ">>> Starting rsyncing with
43 (mirror)" and ">>> Checking server timestamp" to be at the
44 beginning(ish) rather than the end.
45
46 Thanks.
