Description Thomas J. Baker 2002-05-15 19:10:32 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020502

Description of problem:
Cron runs  /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1 every 10 minutes and I keep getting the error
"Cannot append data to that file". I've removed the /var/log/sa/sa15 and it
works for a while but then eventually comes back with the same "Cannon append"
message.

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


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1./usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1 runs automatically from cron every 10 minutes
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  The cron job reports an error of "Cannot append data to that file".

Expected Results:  The cron job runs silently.

Additional info:

I've rebooted a couple of times today for various reasons. I don't know if
that's contributing or not.

Still a problem with 4.0.5-1 from http://people.redhat.com/teg/sysstat/ ?

Comment 2 Thomas J. Baker 2002-06-20 20:06:56 UTC
Sorry for not updating this bug but the problem went away. I don't know what
exactly fixed it but I no longer have the problem.

Comment 3 Joseph Kotran 2002-07-05 21:39:46 UTC
Hello,

I experienced the same trouble reported in this bug report.  The problem is that
I changed my system clock time after the sa1 utility created a log file.  The
work around is to delete /var/log/sa/sa`date +%d`.

Regards,

Joe Kotran
