Description
Migrating from rudder-agent 2.4.4-squeeze0 (using .../rudder-agent_2.4.5-squeeze0_amd64.deb), i found duplicate /etc/crontab entries for rudder-agent on several hosts, like such:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * root if [ ! -e /opt/rudder/etc/disable-agent -a `ps -efww | grep -E "(cf-execd|cf-agent)" | grep -E "/var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/(cf-execd|cf-agent)" | grep -v grep | wc -l` -eq 0 ]; then /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-agent -f failsafe.cf \&\& /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-agent; fi 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * root if [ ! -e /opt/rudder/etc/disable-agent -a `ps -efww | grep -E "(cf-execd|cf-agent)" | grep -E "/var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/(cf-execd|cf-agent)" | grep -v grep | wc -l` -eq 0 ]; then /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-agent -f failsafe.cf && /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-agent; fi
The &&
vs. \&\&
seems to be the only difference.

These entries were added before the upgrade of the packages.
I found these entries also after the successfull installation of rudder-agent.

Ok, I should test a migration between 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 to confirm this bug. Thanks for reporting it
This change about && and \&\& remind me of an old bug but I can't find it.

I've tried to reproduce it without success:

Maybe I should try with older versions of Rudder 2.4
