Oddly enough, that doesn't work. I already did set the MAILTO directive so I should get the mail. But even after changing it to */5 * * * * root bash -x test -x /usr/sbin/cron-apt && bash -x /usr/sbin/cron-apt > /root/cron-apt.log 2>&1nothing is being written to the mentioned file. File permissions are 644, owned by root. journalctl does list the execution of the cron job, but nothing else, no errors.

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? // Ola On Fri, 27 Jan 2023 at 07:20,

sent to the mail address defined in the cron-apt config. It didn't arrive
there. Or did the change of executing cron-apt change anything about that?

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.

Argh! Can you run it with bash -x from cron? Hopefully it tells where it

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

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

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.
