Description

Please replace this:

$ tail -1 /etc/cron.d/rudder-agent
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * root . /etc/profile; if [ -e /opt/rudder/bin/check-rudder-agent ]; then /opt/rudder/bin/check-rudder-agent; else if [ ! -e /opt/rudder/etc/disable-agent -a `ps -efww | grep -E "(cf-execd|cf-agent)" | grep -E "/var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/(cf-execd|cf-agent)" | grep -v grep | wc -l` -eq 0 ]; then /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-agent -f failsafe.cf >/dev/null 2>&1 && /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-agent >/dev/null 2>&1; if [ $? != 0 ]; then if [ -f /opt/rudder/etc/rudder-restart-message.txt ]; then cat /opt/rudder/etc/rudder-restart-message.txt; else echo "Rudder agent was unable to restart on $(hostname)."; fi; fi; fi; fi

with something more readable to prevent typos.

Like this:

$ tail -1 /etc/cron.d/rudder-agent
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * root /opt/rudder/bin/rudder-cron.sh

$ cat /opt/rudder/bin/rudder-cron.sh
#!/bin/bash
#

# Source profile file
. /etc/profile

# Do checks
if [ -e /opt/rudder/bin/check-rudder-agent ]; then 
  /opt/rudder/bin/check-rudder-agent 
elif [ ! -e /opt/rudder/etc/disable-agent -a `ps -efww | grep -E "(cf-execd|cf-agent)" | grep -E "/var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/(cf-execd|cf-agent)" | grep -v grep | wc -l` -eq 0 ]; then
  /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-agent -f failsafe.cf >/dev/null 2>&1 && /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-agent >/dev/null 2>&1

  if [ $? != 0 ]; then 
    if [ -f /opt/rudder/etc/rudder-restart-message.txt ]; then 
      cat /opt/rudder/etc/rudder-restart-message.txt
    else 
      echo "Rudder agent was unable to restart on $(hostname)." 
    fi 
  fi
fi

NOTE: I did not check the script for errors and I'm not sure what it should to. This is only an example. Have fun!

That's a wonderful idea Dennis, and really much more readable.

I dont knwo it which version this should come ... That's a rather big change and I would have done it in next major release (2.11)

Jon what do you think of it?

I don't think its a big change. It's really unreadable now and I would implement it in 2.10 and backport it to all versions of Rudder that have this cron. Oneliners shouldn't be this long! Just my 2 cents. :)

This is already the direction that this cron script is going in. If you read carefully, you will see that the only thing this cron does is check if the script /opt/rudder/bin/check-rudder-agent exists and run it. The "else" part is for backwards compatibility.

This new script (/opt/rudder/bin/check-rudder-agent) was introduced in Rudder 2.6. Since 2.11+ only support upgrades from 2.6+, we can now safely remove this.

I will update the cron script to be released in 2.12.
