Bug #118366 for Schedule-Cron: debug line "print Kid <pid>" being printed out in RH 7.2 version

Version Cron.pm 1.01 Came with RH 7.2 rpm, upgrading from RH 5.11 Our I&T people have noticed that when a kill signal is being sent the perl script that is using Schedule::Cron it is now printing the line 'Kid -1' or 'Kid <pid>' for each task that were scheduled. Looking at the RH 5.11 version vs. the RH 7.2 I see that the module was re-written and what appears to be a debug line was added in function _reaper_all and was not removed when it was committed. Basically the I&T people want it stopped because it confuses them because they don't know Kid line is coming from Cron.pm signal catcher. Please remove the debug line or change to 'print "Kid: $kid\n" if $DEBUG;' to suppress this message during normal runs. The SAs say they will not allow us to edit the module to fix it. # Catch all reaper sub _reaper_all { local ($!,%!); my $kid; do { # Only on POSIX systems the wait will return immediately # if there are no finished child processes. Simple 'wait' # waits blocking on childs. $kid = $HAS_POSIX ? waitpid(-1, WNOHANG) : wait; print "Kid: $kid\n"; <==== debug line here causing all the complaints if ($kid != 0 && $kid != -1 && defined $STARTEDCHILD{$kid}) { # We don't delete the hash entry here to avoid an issue # when modifyinga global hash from multiple threads $STARTEDCHILD{$kid} = 0; dbg "Reaped child $kid" if $DEBUG; } } while ($kid != 0 && $kid != -1); Hopefully this will be fix soon.
