Description Ben 2020-04-28 10:34:37 UTC

Description of problem:
After running "insights-client --register" on RHEL6 hosts, every night an email of the form


/etc/cron.daily/insights-client:

Sleeping for <a random number around 14400> seconds

is generated because of the "echo" in that script.  As far as I can tell, there's no reason for this to happen.  What's worse is that if I comment out that line, the next time the insights RPM is updated my change will be reverted.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
insights-client-3.0.13-1.el6_10.noarch

How reproducible:
All the time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install insights-client
2. insights-client --register
3. wait 24 hours

Actual results:
Email from cron

Expected results:
No email from cron

Additional info:
None that I can think of.  This doesn't happen for RHEL7.
