during the execution of the monthly cron jobs the script /etc/cron.montly/update-pciids generates unnecessary information about the success of a download that it performs, this in turn gets emailed to system administrators, even though nothing is wrong, and the task completes successfully Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. execute /usr/sbin/update-pciids in a shell window 2. 3. Actual Results: % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 118k 0 1182 0 0 2783 0 0:00:43 --:--:-- 0:00:43 2783 36 118k 36 44622 0 0 34398 0 0:00:03 0:00:01 0:00:02 49759 100 118k 100 118k 0 0 67746 0 0:00:01 0:00:01 --:--:-- 88021 Expected Results: To see nothing on successful execution Tracing this through the cron job executes /usr/sbin/update-pciids, which in turn calls curl, having pulled out the line executed line and executed it in a console (curl -o ~/test.ids http://pciids.sourceforge.net/v2.2/pci.ids) generates the same/similar output to that which the system administrators are seeing
Created an attachment (id=122400) [details] Patches /usr/sbin/pciids to add -s option to the executing curl command This resolves the spammy output created by curl
