Description alsanche 2022-01-03 17:17:42 UTC
Description of problem:

The selected day of the week was Wednesday and not Thursday

The correct schedule in crontab should be

0 1 * * 3 root /bin/sleep 203; /usr/bin/foreman_scap_client 2 2>&1 | logger -t foreman_scap_client

instead of

0 1 * * 4 root /bin/sleep 203; /usr/bin/foreman_scap_client 2 2>&1 | logger -t foreman_scap_client

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


How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hosts > Compliance > Policies
2. Click on schedule
3. Schedule the policy

Actual results:

Does not run on scheduled day, but a day later

Comment 1 Brad Buckingham 2022-01-05 15:16:50 UTC
Moving to ASSIGNED as there is a PR upstream.  The redmine associated with that PR is now also attached.

Comment 2 Ron Lavi 2022-02-01 13:21:40 UTC
upstream PR is merged and released in foreman_openscap.1 gem

Comment 3 Ron Lavi 2022-02-07 13:46:03 UTC
created tfm-rubygem-foreman_openscap-5.1.1, hopefully it will make it to one of the upcoming snaps

Comment 4 Jameer Pathan 2022-04-06 13:16:12 UTC
Verified:

Verified with:
- Satellite 6.11 snap 15
- rubygem-foreman_openscap-5.1.1-1.el8sat.noarch

Test steps:
- Create compliance policy scheduled to run on Wednesday every week.
- Assign it to host.
- Configure Openscap for the host.

Observation:
- /etc/cron.d/foreman_scap_client_cron had correct schedule. (Refer https://api.rubyonrails.org/v6.1.4/classes/DateAndTime/Calculations.html)

# foreman_scap_client cron job
0 1 * * 3 root /bin/sleep 185; /usr/bin/foreman_scap_client ds 1 2>&1 | logger -t foreman_scap_client
