            Bug ID: 14356
           Summary: cronstamp jobs are not performed with bumped version
                    of dcron
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2021.02.7
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned@buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: dominique.tronche@atos.net
                CC: buildroot@uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Since we have integrated the commit 8a0d4e6a which bumps dcron to a non
released version, we have noticed that the cronstamp jobs are not executed. 
The timestamp of the files in /var/spool/cron/cronstamps/ directory are not
updated. 
If we revert the commit and get back to version 4.5 of dcron, the jobs are
working nominally.

I forgot to say that the dcron process is running and no error message is
displayed when run in debug mode

(In reply to Dominique Tronche from comment #1)

Tested on RPi Zero 2W (buildroot master, configs/raspberrypizero2w_defconfig),
both dcron-4.5 and dcron-1ba33c3325df48de46263276a43ed76cf9d81518 create the
files in /var/spool/cron/cronstamps and simple dcron jobs work (echo `date` >>
/home/test/out.log)...

Just added (but works without too):

        mkdir -p /var/spool/cron/crontabs
        mkdir -p /var/spool/cron/cronstamps

to /etc/init.d/S90dcron startup file...

Anything special with your crontab files? Can your provide an example?

We only have a logrotate script in /etc/cron.daily. Has you can see in the
snapshot the timestamp of the cronstamps file are not updated. root.sys-hourly
should be updated every hour

(In reply to Dominique Tronche from comment #4)

Any updates on this one? I can confirm the changed behavior/failure for the
default /etc/cron.d/system @hourly entry (did not run the test longer),
can confirm that the offending commit seems to be [1] (upstream issue already
exists [2], dating back to May 2018)...
