Description Jameer Pathan 2019-07-24 12:33:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
foreman_scap_client_cron not working for ansible deployments.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- Satellite 6.6.0 snap 11
- rubygem-foreman_scap_client-0.4.6-1.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a host with scap configured via ansible. 
2. Wait till scheduled cron time is complete. 

Actual results:
- No reports generated even after scheduled cron time.

Expected results:
- Reports generated even after scheduled cron time.

Additional info:
- Issue seems to be occurring because of cron command in /etc/cron.d/foreman_scap_client_cron 

# cat /etc/cron.d/foreman_scap_client_cron 
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE MANUALLY
# IT IS MANAGED BY ANSIBLE
# ANY MANUAL CHANGES WILL BE LOST ON THE NEXT ANSIBLE EXECUTION
#
# Executing foreman_scap_client from command line may be useful for debugging purposes.

# foreman_scap_client cron job
*/10 * * * * root "/bin/sleep 32; /usr/bin/foreman_scap_client 3 > /dev/null"

- after removing quotes the command runs fine.

- while same file when configured scap_client using puppet looks like 

# cat /etc/cron.d/foreman_scap_client_cron 
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE MANUALLY
# IT IS MANAGED BY PUPPET
# ANY MANUAL CHANGES WILL BE LOST ON THE NEXT PUPPET RUN
#
# Executing foreman_scap_client from command line may be useful for debugging purposes.
# It may generate warnings due to a reference to a missing file.

# foreman_scap_client cron job

# Runs foreman_scap_client 1
*/30 * * * * root /bin/sleep 517 ; /usr/bin/foreman_scap_client 1 2>&1 | logger -t foreman_scap_client
Comment 3 Sanket Jagtap 2019-07-24 12:45:15 UTC 
As the intended use of foreman_scap_client is with cron, this would be a possible blocker for feature
Comment 4 Ondřej Pražák 2019-07-24 13:10:30 UTC 
Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/27417 from this bug
Comment 6 Jameer Pathan 2019-07-30 10:08:39 UTC 
Verified

Verified with:
- Satellite 6.6.0 snap 13

Test steps:
1. Host with scap configured via ansible. 
2. Wait till scheduled cron time is complete.

Observation:
- Reports were being generated after scheduled cron time.
Comment 7 Jameer Pathan 2019-07-30 10:35:35 UTC 
- Content of /etc/cron.d/foreman_scap_client_cron file on host.
#cat /etc/cron.d/foreman_scap_client_cron
