Description James Wilkinson 2005-07-28 11:30:22 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716

Description of problem:
The new clamav-update package puts a new clamav-update file in /etc/cron.d. This calls /usr/share/clamav/freshclam-sleep, a bash shellscript.

/usr/share/clamav/freshclam-sleep uses `hostid` to get a random time to sleep. On an AMD64 box:

[james@kendrick ~]$ hostid
ffffffffa8c0fa00
[james@kendrick ~]$ echo $[ 0x`hostid`]
-1463748096

Not surprisingly, sleep doesn't like sleeping for negative seconds. Even if the number was positive, that's still an awfully long time to sleep.

Maybe line 26 of /usr/share/clamav/freshclam-sleep could be changed to use $RANDOM?

Thanks.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
clamav-0.86.2-2.fc4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
[root@kendrick cron.d]# /usr/share/clamav/freshclam-sleep
sleep: invalid option -- 2
Try `sleep --help' for more information.
