db-control already logs into /var/log/rhn/rhn_database.log which is packed with spacewalk-debug, I've just extended it by a bit to see whether the action completed successfully or not

Comment 5 Lukáš Hellebrandt 2018-01-16 13:28:11 UTC

FailedQA with spacewalk-web-2.5.2-14.

db-control is indeed logged in /var/log/rhn/rhn_database.log. However, regardless of whether it completed successfully or unsuccessfully, it always says "Completed: db-control [...]" so there is no way to determine whether the backup was actually done or it failed. Please, just make the output say something about failure in case $?!=0.

Comment 6 Lukáš Hellebrandt 2018-01-16 13:32:27 UTC

Verified with spacewalk-web-2.5.2-14.

1) # db-control backup
2) # spacewalk-debug
3) untar + unbzip the resulting archive
4) # grep backup rhn_logs/rhn/rhn_database.log
5) ^ check time, it should be a few seconds ago when you ran the backup
6) repeat for db-control online-backup

In case of successful run, the log says "Invocation:" and then "Completed:" while in case of unsuccessfull run, it only says "Invocation:".
