(As a side note, since fcron didn't watched at all for those files and directories, 'longer than fcron' has not a well defined meaning ;-). I haven't fully understood the code, but it seems to me that cronie will miss the creation of /etc/crontab if it didn't exist when the select in check_inotify_database is entered? And does it watch modifications of files in RH_CROND_DIR? In any case you may have a look at http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/fcron/devel/fcron_config_modified.c?revision=1.1&view=markup though it is not exactly the same context (it is called from a shell script and if it exits with exit code 0 the configuration is reread by another shell script), here I also watch /etc in case crontab wasn't there already, to watch for its creation. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
