From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040922 Description of problem: I get the following email daily: /etc/cron.daily/fixfiles.cron: logging to /dev/null Null message body; hope that's ok This is annoying. Email should only be generated if there is an issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): policycoreutils-1.17.5-6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install policycoreutils-1.17.5-6 2. 3. Additional info:
Created attachment 104988 [details] Add minimal message body for all email. Attached a minimal patch to provide a message body on all email messages; thus shutting up /bin/mail and avoiding cron sending out email about the "null message body".
Created attachment 104989 [details] Redirect /sbin/fixfiles STDOUT to /dev/null. Primitive/brute-force patch to direct /sbin/fixfiles's warning when logging to /dev/null to, uhm, /dev/null. :-) This should probably be fixed in /sbin/fixfiles instead.
Null Message Patch added to policycoreutils-1_17_6-2 /sbin/fixfiles has been changed to no longer send anything to STDOUT. It now defaults to syslog unless an alternate log file is specified. Also moved to cron.weekly. Dan
