/etc/cron.d/atop contains: ---- 0 0 * * * root /etc/cron.daily/atop ---- However, all cronjob scripts under /etc/cron.daily also get executed through the run-parts statement in /etc/crontab ("02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily" by default). So /etc/cron.daily/atop gets executed by /etc/cron.d/atop at midnight every day and also some time after 4:20am. I feel this does not make sense. I guess it would be better to move the code in /etc/cron.daily/atop to a file not under /etc/cron.daily so it only gets executed by /etc/cron.d/atop.
Is this new with the 1.26 RPMs or has this always been this way? Do you see it on Fedora releases?
This is with the current atop-1.26-1.el5.2 RPM from EPEL5 (running on CentOS). We're not running Fedora. The el6 version has different behavior: Instead of lots of .1's (and .2's, which I've also seen) the current date gets appended to atop_* files from older dates. I don't know if this is normal, but the following directory listing looks weird to me as well. This might have something to do with the way logrotate works on el6 versus el5? ---- total 8544 -rw------- 1 root root 0 May 7 04:12 atop.log -rw------- 1 root root 0 Apr 15 03:33 atop.log-20120415

I'm sorry that last comment was not meant for this atop bug (but for 542598). I don't know if this was also before the 1.26 release, I only noticed it today and all our servers are running atop 1.26 from EPEL. We're not running Fedora.
Ok. I think We can just drop /etc/cron.d/atop and leave /etc/cron.daily/atop, if that works for you.
I feel that rotating the process at midnight makes a bit more sense, since in that case all logging for date X will actually be in the file with date X in the name instead of rolling over somewhere after 4:20am (or whatever custom time an admin might have set for the daily cron jobs).
Ok, have a look at this koji build, see if that fixes this and the cron issue. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=318093
I don't know if /etc/atop/atop.daily is the best place to put the script, since I believe /etc is for host-specific system configuration. I see for instance the vnstat package calls /usr/sbin/vnstat.cron from /etc/cron.d/vnstat. I'm not sure if that's better and I'm no expert on RPM packaging guidelines. Anyway, atop-1.26-2 does seems to fix the issue.
True, but it's where upstream places it, and this file could conceivably be edited by the admin.
An executable bash script doesn't sound like configuration to me, so I'd be surprised to find a script like this under /etc/atop. This script is in fact already configurable by editing the settings /etc/sysconfig/atop. Any file can conceivably be edited by the admin. :)
Have a look at this scratch build. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4068062
Installed it, looks good to me.
Excellent!

Package atop-1.26-5.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing atop-1.26-5.fc17' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-7733/atop-1.26-5.fc17 then log in and leave karma (feedback).
I think the output of /etc/cron.d/atop should be suppressed. Currently users will receive an e-mail like this every day at midnight: ---- From: Cron Daemon <root@hostname> Subject: Cron <root@lispeltuut> /etc/rc.d/init.d/atop condrestart Date: 12 mei 2012 00:00:02 GMT+02:00 To: root@hostname Stopping atop: [ OK ] Starting atop: [ OK ] ----
I'll fix that, thanks.
