Cron <root@ldap> /usr/sbin/univention-ldap-backup

UCS - Univention Corporate Server

Hello,

After one of the recent releases I started receiving emails from cron regarding backup of LDAP.
These messages contain only one line:

find '/var/univention-backup' -type f -mtime '+30' -regex '/var/univention-backup/ldap-backup_.*\.\(log\|ldif\)\(\.gz\)?'

I reviewed the script “/usr/sbin/univention-ldap-backup” and there is the reference to shared library “/usr/share/univention-lib/backup.sh” that contains this line:

echo "find '$backup_dir' -type f -mtime '+$max_age' -regex '$pattern'"

I guess, the ‘echo’ command was missing in previous releases.

I have already adjusted the template ‘/etc/univention/templates/files/etc/cron.d/univention-ldap-server’ by adding redirection of output to ‘/dev/null’, but I believe, this is just a workaround instead of solution of the issue.

Can this be reverted or fixed somehow because right now this kind of messages annoy really well?

Thanks in advance.

Let me inform that i have a similar issue

Mail from cron with
Cron root@CCMDC01 [ -x /usr/lib/php5/sessionclean ] && /usr/lib/php5/sessionclean de Cron Daemon
/usr/lib/php5/sessionclean: 34: /usr/lib/php5/sessionclean: php5: not found

@codedmind

this is a leftover from ucs 4.2, which still used php5. Under ucs4.3 php7 is used, so the interpreter php5 is not found.
⇒ its save to just delete the cronjob.

@ThorstenS after do crontab -l i don’t have any job php related… where should i delete the php cronjob?

Thanks

Hey,

it’s a system cronjob, /etc/cron.d/php5-common or something like that.

crontab -l just lists users crontab. I would run something like this: find /etc/cron* -name "*php*"
