Re: error processing extended attributes (was: Periodic problem?)

Hello,

this message I find every day in my system log several times:
"cp: error processing extended attributes: Operation not permitted"
it looks like it is connected to the daily to log archiving.
I actually didn't change anything with the cron jobs.
Any idea, how I could fix this?


Hello Matthias,

This one comes from times to times on the list; his is why I allowed myself to change the subject, so that it relates more directly to the "problem" (could be handy for future searches).

As you'll see hereafter, it is fortunately more a cosmetic matter than a real problem.

Have a nice day,
Axel

In fact, we enjoy such log entries since 10.4.
The "culprit" is to be found near the end of the /usr/sbin/periodic script:


   cp /dev/null $tmp_output

If you want to get rid of those messages, you may comment out that line and replace it, for example, by:

   </dev/null >$tmp_output

HTH,
Axel
