cron complaining about haproxy

j.koopmann

After installing arpwatch I am receiving cron-errors via mail (I do know why). The specific error I am getting from /etc/rc.filter_configure_sync is

X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root>
X-Cron-Env: <USER=root>

sh: haproxy: not found
sh: haproxy: not found
sh: haproxy: not found
sh: haproxy: not found

If I run that script from the shell I do not get any errors. haproxy is installed and alive (haproxy-devel to be exact). Any ideas where to look for and how to get rid of these errors without simply deleting them via e-mail rule?

haproxy is located at /usr/local/sbin/haproxy

@j-koopmann said in cron complaining about haproxy:

X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin>

When you go to the shell, /usr/local/sbin is in your PATH, but it is not in the PATH used by cron. So there is some script being called by cron in which haproxy is not run using its full path when it should be.

Makes sense. Looks as if adding the path to cron should do the trick then.

The „script“ is clearly stated however it looks as if there are php based scripts being run and I do far have not followed all those scripts. Would this then not be a problem of the haproxy package?

Most likely, yes. But without seeing the exact contents of your cron jobs it's difficult to say with certainty.

Hi,

but I already mentioned that

0,15,30,45	*	*	*	*	root	/etc/rc.filter_configure_sync

triggers the problem. Nothing else. What else in my cronjobs do you need. I would expect this to be the same for all installations with the haproxy-devel script installed.

<?php
require_once("config.inc");
require_once("functions.inc");
require_once("filter.inc");
require_once("shaper.inc");
require_once("ipsec.inc");
require_once("vpn.inc");

filter_configure_sync();

Where should I go from there to find the incorrect part? Let me know and I will gladly investigate.

OK I overlooked that before. I was able to reproduce it

: env PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin /etc/rc.filter_configure_sync
sh: haproxy: not found
sh: haproxy: not found
sh: haproxy: not found
sh: haproxy: not found

I found the problem and I'll commit a fix shortly. You should see a new version of the haproxy package in a while.

You're the best. Great. Thanks a lot.
