Typo in /opt/rudder/bin/check-rudder-agent, prevent cleaning of cf-lock and floods with cron mails
Description
For some reason, I often get cron mails from various servers at various times with the following content:
WARNING: The file /var/rudder/cfengine-community/last_successful_inputs_update is older than 10 minutes, the agent is probably stuck. Purging the TokyoCabinet lock file... Done
In the past if a server was in NoAnswer state, I did a manual "find /var/rudder -name '*tcdb*' -delete". That was annoying, but the cron implementation is even more annoying. If i'm awafor the weekend, I will have 1000+ mails on monday. Disable cron mail is no option, cause then /var/spool/mail will grow very fast and I don't know what's happening on nodes. Please find another solution! Thanks in advance.

- Subject changed from Cron mail flood to typo in /opt/rudder/bin/check-rudder-agent, making locks not cleaned and cron flooding with mails
- Category set to System integration
- Status changed from New to In progress

There is a typo in check-rudder-agent, where tcdb is written tdcb
./rudder-agent/SOURCES/check-rudder-agent:82: rm -f ${CFE_DIR}/state/cf_lock.tdcb
./rudder-agent/SOURCES/check-rudder-agent:83: rm -f ${CFE_DIR}/state/cf_lock.tdcb.lock
so the lock stays here and the problem is not fixed and detected at every cron run.
Fixing it will fix both problems (mail flood and tcdb cleaning)
