rhnsd goes to sleep after time screwup
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:06:54 EST
Description of problem: I have a box which somehow got its clock set to October 2004 or something, for a day or two. rhnsd then got confused and wasn't applying automatic updates, even after the clock was fixed: it was sleeping for a *long* time: [root@cocoa root]# strace -p 1358 Process 1358 attached - interrupt to quit time(NULL) = 1092151060 time(NULL) = 1092151060 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, NULL, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 nanosleep({4830074, 0}, <unfinished ...> which is sleep(55 days) by my calculation? up2date-2.9.3-2.2.1AS
