[Bug 700409] Re: Upstart does not pass cmd line args to cron
Steve, You're right. When I initially went thru the examples I didn't see anything except the exec command line. I've since found the script function and how to resolve the problem. I've modified the script as follows: # cron - regular background program processing daemon # # cron is a standard UNIX program that runs user-specified programs at # periodic scheduled times description regular background program processing daemon start on runlevel [2345] stop on runlevel [!2345] expect fork respawn script . /etc/default/cron exec cron $LSBNAMES $EXTRA_OPTS end script This seems to address the problem. ** Attachment added: cron.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cron/+bug/700409/+attachment/1858310/+files/cron.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/700409 Title: Upstart does not pass cmd line args to cron -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

How is this a matter for the upstart package? It's the cron package that ships both the upstart job and the /etc/default/cron file; there's nothing upstart can do here to fix how /etc/init/cron.conf is written. ** Package changed: upstart (Ubuntu) = cron (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/700409 Title: Upstart does not pass cmd line args to cron -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi terry, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help us make Ubuntu better. I would agree that to cleanly support upgrades from older versions of Ubuntu, these default files should continue to be sourced and utilized.
