Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
The new addition to doesn't check whether the variable $config is or isn't empty which can result in a failure
If $config is empty and then $rhsmd_timeout is empty, then sleep $rhsmd_timeout later fails with:
sleep: missing operand
Try 'sleep --help' for more information.
/etc/cron.daily/rhsmd: line 19: 27099 Terminated /usr/libexec/rhsmd -s
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
This section of /etc/cron.daily/rhsm
config=$(grep -E "^processTimeout" /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf | grep -Po "[0-9]+")
if [ -n $config ]; then
rhsmd_timeout=$config
else
rhsmd_timeout=300
fi
Expected results:
We should account for potential missing files.
Additional info:
This was originally changed in Bug 1643189. We can adjust the script to always set the rhsmd_timeout variable and to quote $config to protect the variable.
**** Recommended Change ****
