Re: .core file reporting in daily report

2000-06-22 Thread Brian Somers

 I was trying to figureout how the periodic scripts were run when I
 noticed that cron had coredumped back in October and left a core file in
 /var/run/cron.  I got to thinking, it would be nice if the daily scripts
 would report when core files are found so they can be cleaned up.

I'm about to commit a change to the way the periodic scripts are run. 
You'll be able to tune this in /etc/periodic.conf shortly.

Wonderful.  I am about to steal the scripts to install on a bunch of Red
Hat systems.  Why is it when FreeBSD has something really nice like this
to make the sysadmin's life easier, Linux ignores it?

It's called "Not Invented Here", and at times we're just as guilty as
anyone.

Of course, we're also more concerned with doing things correctly than
with just getting code out there.
