This is a bug of the daemon. While it is already suspicious it needs to mess with "/proc/self/exe" stat works for it even when it is already deleted: cp /usr/bin/perl /tmp/perlcopy;/tmp/perlcopy -MData::Dumper -le 'unlink "/tmp/perlcopy";print Dumper stat,readlink for "/proc/self/exe"' $VAR1 = 18; [...] $VAR13 = 32; $VAR14 = '/tmp/perlcopy (deleted)'; On Sat, 14 Jul 2012 16:43:13 +0200, Reindl Harald wrote: > it should be generally considered if prelink is useful at > all on a distribution with high frequently updates This is a bug of yum, it should run prelink for any updated software. > and in the context of intrusion detections which are randomly broken by the > prelink cronjob This is a bug of the intrusion detections software which should run documented way: prelink -u -o - /bin/bash | read the original binary > also the prelink-cronjob itself eats more ressources > a the whole benefit is especially if it starts on > a notebook with slow disks while people want to work This is a bug of cron, this problem affects me also for nightly updates and nightly build and regression testing jobs. > in my machines are all free from prelink This is a workaround, not a fix.
