[SAC] Annoying Cron Emails from "old-wiki-dev"

Committees SAC mailing list

Hi all,

only a few weeks ago someone apparently made a change which resulted in a
root cron job sending error messages every 30 minutes.

The source host is declared as being "old-wiki-dev" and the subject
contains:

[...] -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -x /usr/lib/php5/sessionclean ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && /usr/lib/php5/sessionclean
        /var/lib/php5 $(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime

The body is:

    Error in GnuTLS initialization: Failed to acquire random data.

I have no idea which machine this is, therefore I'd kindly ask the
originator of the respective config action to stop generating these messages
because they start to annoy me.

Thanks,
  Martin

Me too, restarting old-wiki-dev apparently fixed the issue.

BTW I found that old-wiki-dev is on osgeo4 and can be accessed like the
machines on osgeo7.

Weird I haven't gotten any messages. I'll just disable the cron job. No reason for a dev machine to be sending out notices. Do you all agree?
