Description of problem: The run-parts in crontabs-1.11-1.20101109git.fc14.noarch assumes that its directory cmd line parameter has a trailing slash. Here's the update: # Ignore *~ and *, scripts -for i in $(LC_ALL=C; echo $1/*[^~,]) ; do +for i in $(LC_ALL=C; echo $1*[^~,]) ; do [ -d $i ] && continue This breaks the existing 0hourly crontab entry: $ cat /etc/cron.d/0hourly SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root 01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly Which in turn prevents /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron from running. Which in turn prevents the rest of /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly} from running. It's unclear why the explicit slash was removed in the diff above. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): crontabs-1.11-1.20101109git.fc14.noarc How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to crontabs-1.11-1.20101109git.fc14.noarc 2. Confirm in /var/log/cron that /etc/cron.d/0hourly and all of /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly} no longer run 3. Alternatively, simply run "# bash -x /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.hourly" Additional info: Marking as urgent because of dropped cron jobs.
Hmmm... I searched bugzilla for "run-parts" prior to submitting this bug, and I only got two unrelated hits. Then after logging in and filing this bug, I see nine hits, and that this is a dup. I'm not sure why I got different search results before and after logging in. Anyway, marking as dup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 652268 ***
