daily/330.fetchaudit

[Ion-Mihai Tetcu]

Hi,


I've noticed the absence of "daily run output". The last is
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 21:44:01 +0200 (EET)
and now it is:
 # date
Fri Mar 12 21:49:17 EET 2004

ps axwl:

This is not a temporary problem (look at the hours), a snip of the daily
mails:
 # grep 'Date:' /home/itetcu/MailMH/Work/buh/it/daily/* | sed -E '/.*,/s///'
  5 Mar 2004 10:43:47 +0200 (EET)
  6 Mar 2004 07:17:40 +0200 (EET)
  7 Mar 2004 06:35:26 +0200 (EET)
  8 Mar 2004 09:15:03 +0200 (EET)
  9 Mar 2004 18:57:33 +0200 (EET)

Since the  # uptime
10:04PM  up 1 day, 10:57
I guess it fetch was stuck and the cron job got killed at the last reboot.

Maybe we should enforce a timeout and / or restart the fetch for the
audit file after some time (let's say an hour) ?

Point finger to fetch, which has the really nasty habit to stuck like this.
No, the rest of the periodic jobs work OK, and no, I don't consume all
the bandwidth.
