Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

Fixed In Version:	libguestfs-1.28.1-1.43.el7	Doc Type:	Release Note
Doc Text:	The "at" program works correctly with virt-sysprep When using the virt-sysprep utility to create a Red Hat Enterprise Linux guest template, the "at" program in the resulting guest could not be used. This update ensures that virt-sysprep does not delete /var/spool/at/.SEQ files in these guests, and "at" now works as expected.	Story Points:	---

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-07-02 08:09:55 UTC

Cloned for RHEL 7 on the assumption this bug must affect
RHEL 7 too.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-07-02 17:09:18 UTC

This is ready to be built, if I can get qa-ack please.

Comment 4 Hu Zhang 2015-07-27 05:54:38 UTC

Verified with the packages:
libguestfs-1.28.1-1.43.el7

Verify steps:
1. # guestfish -a RHEL-Server-7.1-64-hvm.raw -i cat /var/spool/at/.SEQ
00001

2. # virt-sysprep -a RHEL-Server-7.1-64-hvm.raw

3. # guestfish -a RHEL-Server-7.1-64-hvm.raw -i cat /var/spool/at/.SEQ
00000

The /var/spool/at/.SEQ is not removed and the value is set as '00000'. So verified.
