Description
after my "apt-get remove rudder-agent && dpkg --purge rudder-agent", I have kill the cfengine process but after 5 minutes its come back !
The /etc/crontab have this line :
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * root if [ `ps -efww | grep cf-execd | grep "/var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-execd"
| grep -v grep | wc -l` -eq 0 ]; then /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-execd; fi
- Status changed from New to 8
- Assignee set to Matthieu CERDA
- Priority changed from N/A to 3
- Target version set to 2.3.10
- Priority changed from 3 to 1 (highest)
- Target version changed from 2.3.10 to 2.5.0~rc1
Matthieu, can you work on a change for this for 2.5 please? This is too impacting to change in 2.3 or 2.4 (stable versions), but can make it into 2.5.
same remark with :
- /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99rudder
- /etc/rsyslog.d/rudder-agent.conf
We've decided to move the cron line as suggested by Fabrice to /etc/cron.d/rudder-agent. Steps to complete:
- Create this file in the system Technique common (the plain cron file to be copied as is)
- Edit the system Technique common to copy this file to /etc/cron.d/rudder-agent
- Edit the system Technique common to delete_lines the old line from /etc/crontab
- Edit the packaging of rudder-agent so that SOURCES/Makefile copies the rudder-agent cron file from the rudder-techniques repo
- Adapt the packaging (deb and RPM) to copy this file into place on install, and clear it up on package purge
- Status changed from 8 to In progress
- Assignee changed from Matthieu CERDA to Jonathan CLARKE
The first part has been done: a Technique update that puts the Rudder cron configuration in cron.d instead of crontab.
There is still the packaging work to do.
A little word of caution, in the Technique, I used the local_cp body (defined in the stdlib), we might want to use another one as I suspect that it uses the mtime file comparison method by default. (Should not harm, but might cause some funny things if the user alters the file on the destination machine...)
Jon, you turn :)
