Dear Maintainer,
when running cron-apt as shipped it works normal, running at 4 am and sending an email when anything can be updated. But when adding the recommended RUNSLEEP variable to the config, the only thing that happens is throwing a kernel error at 4 am:

     2022-12-19T04:00:01.425628+01:00 ts CRON[75874]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/cron-apt && /usr/sbin/cron-apt)
     2022-12-19T04:00:01.468596+01:00 ts kernel: [276052.628108] traps: cksum[75885] trap invalid opcode ip:562d9fe03cf5 sp:7ffd9b53fe20 error:0 in cksum[562d9fded000+17000]

Even though it says a mail is sent, it's not received. Since cron-apt clearly doesn't run at all, that might be the reason. Running cron-apt manually with RUNSLEEP set with "cron-apt -s" works without problems.

Hi

When you run cron-apt from a terminal RUNSLEEP is not used. This is why it
works when running manually.

Please try running the following in a command

sleep 456

or any large number for sleep.

Do you have some special kernel? The kernel should not give that problem.

cron-apt do not do anything magic. It just executes sleep

It could also be that it is not the sleep command itself. It could be the
random number generation done a few lines earlier in that script.

Hi,
sleep 456 and sleep 1200 work without any problems. Also, I don't have any special kernel. Currently, Output of uname -a is "Linux ts 6.1.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.4-1 (2023-01-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux". I don't even have any other repository active other than the typical Debian ones (testing, testing-updates, testing-backports, testing-security).

Also, I'm noticing cron-apt becoming less reliable in the last weeks (I actually wanted to report this before Christmas, but something must have went wrong so I only got the email, but it probably was never sent to the bugreport mailing list). It used to reliably send mails every day at which it finds any updates. But in the last weeks, it mostly doesn't do that anymore. The log in journalctl/syslog always shows the same text (only difference in the checksum and so on). RUNSLEEP has been commented out for weeks now.

Hi Richard

Strange!

Can you try to copy cron-apt and comment this:

if [ -t 0 ]; then
    RUNIMMEDIATELY="yes"
fi

And then run manually.

bash -x your-cron-apt-copy

It would help to understand what happens.

 Hi Richard Strange!

Can you try to copy cron-apt and comment this:if [ -t 0 ]; then
    RUNIMMEDIATELY="yes"
fi

And then run manually.

bash -x your-cron-apt-copyIt would help to understand what happens. // Ola On Mon, 23 Jan 2023 at 23:30, Richard Rosner <rrosner@fsmuw.rwth-aachen.de> wrote:Hi,
sleep 456 and sleep 1200 work without any problems. Also, I don't have any special kernel. Currently, Output of uname -a is "Linux ts 6.1.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.4-1 (2023-01-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux". I don't even have any other repository active other than the typical Debian ones (testing, testing-updates, testing-backports, testing-security).

Also, I'm noticing cron-apt becoming less reliable in the last weeks (I actually wanted to report this before Christmas, but something must have went wrong so I only got the email, but it probably was never sent to the bugreport mailing list). It used to reliably send mails every day at which it finds any updates. But in the last weeks, it mostly doesn't do that anymore. The log in journalctl/syslog always shows the same text (only difference in the checksum and so on). RUNSLEEP has been commented out for weeks now.

 Hi When you run cron-apt from a terminal RUNSLEEP is not used. This is why it works when running manually.

Please try running the following in a command

sleep 456

or any large number for sleep.

Do you have some special kernel? The kernel should not give that problem.

cron-apt do not do anything magic. It just executes sleep

It could also be that it is not the sleep command itself. It could be the random number generation done a few lines earlier in that script. // Ola On Wed, 18 Jan 2023 at 15:12, Richard Rosner <rrosner@fsmuw.rwth-aachen.de> wrote:Package: cron-apt

Dear Maintainer,
when running cron-apt as shipped it works normal, running at 4 am and sending an email when anything can be updated. But when adding the recommended RUNSLEEP variable to the config, the only thing that happens is throwing a kernel error at 4 am:

     2022-12-19T04:00:01.425628+01:00 ts CRON[75874]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/cron-apt && /usr/sbin/cron-apt)

Even though it says a mail is sent, it's not received. Since cron-apt clearly doesn't run at all, that might be the reason. Running cron-apt manually with RUNSLEEP set with "cron-apt -s" works without problems.

No kernel errors. I didn't receive a mail about updates, though, but I also don't know the time the server I get the updates from updates its repository the last time.

With RUNSLEEP set to 3600 I get the same (running with no delay). And even though I did run apt update between these two runs (28 updates available) I didn't receive the mail.

Hi Richard

I thought you would get the cron output from bash -x in an email so I could
see more what happens. It should be sent to the root user. Or have
you redirected those emails so you do not get them?

Sorry for not being clear on that.

Best regards

Hi Richard

It is a different email I'm referring to. When a script, run by
cron, prints something on standard output that will be sent to the root
user as an email. At least in standard configuration.
You should therefore have received two emails. One from cron-apt itself. We
know that will not arrive due to this problem. The other email should also
be sent by cron itself, but that do not seem to arrive either. Strange.

Can you change the line in cron so it outputs stdout and stderr to a file
instead?

I now found the problem. The mails from cron had been sorted into spam because they had "root (Cron Daemon)" as sender and rspamd didn't like the sender domain to be forged to root@domain.de. Anyway, the error message says "/usr/bin/test: /usr/bin/test: can't execute file". I guess it didn't like to be executed by bash -x. I set the cron-apt entry to "test -x /usr/sbin/cron-apt && bash -x /usr/sbin/cron-apt > /root/cron-apt.log 2>&1", this works now. Output to the log file is:

Thank you. According to the log everything works fine. Did it work fine now?

If possible attach the file as an attachment and the syslog where you have
the kernel error log.

Using bash will not help here, that's the problem. cron-apt is a /bin/sh
script, and on many systems /bin/sh is dash. And, $RANDOM doesn't exist
in dash.

Change cron-apt's shebang line to use /bin/bash and it should be fine.

Now we probably can move on to stage 6 of debugging "how did that
ever work?", since we're having /bin/sh point to dash for a while and
this issue just appeared on of my _stable_ systems.

Hi Marc

Sorry, I meant to run with dash -x. Or do dash not have that option?

Cheers

It has this option.

But I see a problem in cron-apt using bashisms while using the /bin/sh
shebang line. I don't know whether this have to do with this, bug, but
it should be fixed anyway.

Hi Marc

Certainly. If you know those I'm happy to fix them.

I thought I had fixed them all already.

The one that jumped to my mind is $RANDOM which doesnt work in dash.

I would recommend just using /bin/bash in the shebang line. At least
that's what I do since I'd rather not delve into those shell details too
deeply.
