(fixed by reinstall) mailreports sending duplicate reports after power fail

  • D

    Update Jan 6, 2016:

    • updating to 2.2.6 did not fix the problem
    • Re-install of 2.2.6 and restoring from saved config file fixed the problem

    –------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After a power failure mailreports has been sending duplicate reports. I have it configured to send one report at 7am and another at 7pm. Each time I receive 2 separate email reports: one of the reports looks normal, the other has corrupted data: old logs, graphs have wrong data (snippets attached at the end).

    I compared the pfsense backup configuration files from before and after the power fail and they are identical.

    I have tried:

    • deleting the mailreports entries from the web gui and re-creating them with different names. I still get duplicate reports: the new one with correct data and the old one with corrupted data.
    • re-installed mailreports package, no change
    • removed and then installed the mailreports package, no change

    I could probably fix this with a reinstall of pfsense since I have good configuration backups. The system is remote so I can’t re-install pfsense until I am onsite again in about a month.

    I’d like a way to straighten this out remotely without a reinstall.

    Update
    If I manually run:
      /usr/local/bin/mail_reports_generate.php 0
    I only get 1 email report and it is good.

    Supporting info:
    pfsense version: 2.2.5-RELEASE (i386)
    mailreports version: 2.3_1

    /etc/crontab entry for mailreports:
