https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=282614 Bug ID: 282614 Summary: ${LOCALBASE}/etc/periodic.conf is ignored Product: Base System Version: 14.2-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: conf Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: freebsd@oldach.net Fresh install from FreeBSD-14.2-PRERELEASE-amd64-20241031-25ad37c9532b-269367-disc1.iso: toor@t:/ # cd /usr/local toor@t:/usr/local/etc # mkdir -p etc/periodic/test toor@t:/usr/local/etc # cat >etc/periodic/test/test <<EOF #!/bin/sh if [ -r /etc/defaults/periodic.conf ]; then . /etc/defaults/periodic.conf source_periodic_confs fi echo "_localbase=\"\${_localbase}\"" echo "periodic_conf_files=\"\${periodic_conf_files}\"" EOF toor@t:/usr/local/etc # chmod +x etc/periodic/test/test toor@t:/usr/local/etc # periodic test _localbase="" periodic_conf_files="/etc/periodic.conf /etc/periodic.conf.local /etc/periodic.conf" toor@t:/usr/local/etc # ${LOCALBASE}/etc/periodic.conf is not read as it is not mentioned in ${periodic_conf_files}. Result is, one cannot define variables for local periodic scripts in the local periodic.conf but they have to go into the global /etc/periodic.conf, which isn't desireable and collides with documentation. We can make it work by tweaking the scope of _localbase (defined by /usr/sbin/periodic): toor@t:/usr/local/etc # echo export _localbase >etc/periodic.conf toor@t:/usr/local/etc # periodic test _localbase="/usr/local" periodic_conf_files="/etc/periodic.conf /etc/periodic.conf.local /usr/local/etc/periodic.conf" toor@t:/usr/local/etc # _localbase should be exported from /usr/sbin/periodic? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
