control: reassign -1 dma Hi,
This looks more like normal behaviour. tchet@brix ~ $ [ -x /usr/sbin/dma ] && /usr/sbin/dma -q1 tchet@brix ~ $ echo $? 1 The crontab should maybe have been written this way, to always return "true". [ -x /usr/sbin/dma ] && /usr/sbin/dma -q1 || true I'm assigningg the bug to "dma". dma maintainers can close it if they feel so. Greetings, ---- Package: systemd-cron Version: 1.5.14-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I just switched from cron to systemd cron.
