Bug#1043395: roundcube-core: Cron job triggers gc.sh 60 times

[Antti Kultanen]

Package: roundcube
Version: 1.6.2+dfsg-1
Severity: minor

Hi all,

in the crontab file /etc/cron.d/roundcube-core file the garbage collector
is set run 60 times, or every minute from 5:00 to 5:59.
-8<-
# Purge expired sessions, caches and tempfiles
* 5 * * * www-data test -d /run/systemd/system || /usr/share/roundcube/bin/gc.sh
-8<-
Is there a reason for this or is it just a typo? I'd imagine running it once
would suffice.


(Noticed this when #1043250 caused PHP warnings about invalid timezone)


Thanks,
Antti
