[Bug 919913] [NEW] cron.d/remote_syslog_compress should skip .bz2 files

 

Public bug reported:

The cronjob remote_syslog_compress spams root with emails like this:

Subject: Cron <root@foo> find /var/log/orchestra/ -type f -mtime +2
-exec bzip2 '{}' \;

bzip2: Input file /var/log/orchestra/rsyslog/2011/10/23/bar/cron.bz2 already has .bz2 suffix.
bzip2: Input file /var/log/orchestra/rsyslog/2011/10/23/bar/messages.bz2 already has .bz2 suffix.
bzip2: Input file /var/log/orchestra/rsyslog/2011/10/23/bar/maillog.bz2 already has .bz2 suffix.
.
.
.

so, in order to fix that, the find command should be:

find /var/log/orchestra/ -type f -mtime +2 \! -path '*bz2' -exec bzip2
'{}' \;

seems to do the trick here.
