Description Stephane Loeuillet 2004-11-14 07:13:48 UTC
5.0.5-r1 provides a crontab file (first release to provide one)

/etc/cron.daily/sysstat

it contains entries like :
0 * * * * /usr/lib/sa/sa1 600 6 &
5 19 * * * /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -A &

but looking to other files in this directory, this file should be a shell script (which is executed once a day)

i use sys-apps/vixie-cron

i suppose that for this to work, this file should be in /etc/cron.d, not /etc/cron.daily

Reproducible: Always

Fixed in CVS, thanks! Should reach the rsync mirrors shortly, please reopen this bug if there are still any problems.
Comment 2 Stephane Loeuillet 2004-11-16 04:45:31 UTC
a minor thing, to my mind, this is useless :
        fperms 0755 /etc/cron.d/sysstat

as it is not a shell script and couldn't be executed. it's a left over from the past.

that's the only issue i can see

feel free to close if you consider it not important (as it won't hurt actually)
