Description Karl-Olov Serrander 2003-08-04 09:25:39 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030716

Description of problem:
If the machine has been down for some time (a week or so) the
mod-time for /var/log/sa is older than 7 days so the find-command in
/usr/lib/sa/sa2 tries to remove /var/log/sa which gives a mail from cron to
handle. Adding "-type f" to the find-command solves the problem. The problem
exists in all newer versions of sysstat including
4.1.5. I have sent a mail to the author (al_jimenez) about this
problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sysstat-4.03-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Touch /var/log/sa with a date older than 1 week
2. run /usr/lib/sa/sa2
3.

Comment 1 Karl-Olov Serrander 2003-10-02 09:59:29 UTC 
I wrongly reported this as a bug in 7.3, it was a bug in 7.1 and is fixed in 7.3
Comment 2 Nils Philippsen 2004-01-13 16:17:59 UTC 
Closing as CURRENTRELEASE for housekeeping purposes.
