Package: atop Version: 1.26-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation? Nightly cron job '/etc/cron.d/atop' executes atop _cron * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? N/A * What was the outcome of this action? The nightly cron script invokes the init script which restarts the atop daemon and starts writing to a new log file named /var/log/atop/atop_YYYYMMDD. In the process of doing so it creates an empty file '/var/log/atop/daily.log' which is never written to. * What outcome did you expect instead? No '/var/log/atop/daily.log' file. It is redundant and confusing. AFAICS atop doesn't take a file name without a preceding read (-r) or write (-w) argument, but the wrapper script has redirected the output there for some reason. Perhaps the daily log is there to hold error messages from the restart, but if that is the case it should perhaps be named 'error.log' to eliminate confusion. *** End of the template - remove these lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.23-interatom (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages atop depends on: ii libc6 2.13-35 ii libncurses5 5.9-10 ii libtinfo5 5.9-10 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian7 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 Versions of packages atop recommends: ii cron 3.0pl1-124 atop suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
