Modified: etc weekly
Log:
Fixed *annoying* error with the weekly files. Do you get these whenver
/etc/weekly is run?
Rebuilding locate database: stty: stdin isn't a terminal TERM: Undefined
variable.
'su' apparently runs in root's environment before doing a seteuid(), so
it reads root's .cshrc. The problem lies in the fact that $prompt is
*always* set by the time the command is executed, so you can't protect
your interactive commands from the non-interactive commands by the
normal:
if ($?prompt) then
# interactive stuff here
endif
Set the -f flag (su -fm) which causes it not to read root's .cshrc file,
since there should be no reason to do so for these scripts since
/etc/crontab sets up all of the necessary environment.
Revision Changes Path
1.16 +3 -3 src/etc/weekly
