[Letsencrypt-devel] Bug#824709: python-certbot: The cron file for certbot missing two items

[Michael Merten]

Package: python-certbot
Version: 0.6.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The cron file for certbot (/etc/cron.d/certbot) is missing the cron
username and
the -e switch for the perl command.  I changed it from:

* */12 * * * perl 'sleep int(rand(3600))'; certbot -q renew

To:

* */12 * * * root perl -e 'sleep int(rand(3600))'; certbot -q renew

and it seems to be working now.

Thank you,
Michael Merten
