Name or service not known (kcarectl)

[greektranslator]

I got this email. Not sure about it, I only have installed the free kernelcare Symlink Protection which was done via the link provided in Security Advisor.

Cron <[email protected]> /usr/bin/kcarectl -q --auto-update
[Errno -2] Name or service not known

Hi @greektranslator


The -q flag is not recognized by kcare. I get a similar error when trying to run that manually:

[[email protected] ~]# /usr/bin/kcarectl -q --auto-update

kcarectl: error: unrecognized arguments: -q

So I guess this should be submitted as an issue given that the patch was provided via the Security Advisor link?

Hello @greektranslator


If I was seeing this behavior regularly I would suggest that or open the case myself but I'm not able to replicate this. When I use Security Advisor to install kernelcare symlink protection the subsequent cron that is created is thus:

[[email protected] cron.d]# cat /etc/cron.d/kcare-cron
13 */4  * * * root /usr/bin/kcarectl --auto-update

Thanks!
