# Generate stats of Cron messages sent to syslog
#
#
# This script can be used to generate per-user and per-task
# statistics in order to determine how much time do cron tasks take
# and audit cron use. It might be useful to debug issues related
# to cron tasks that take too much time to run, or overlap, or get executed
# too fast..
#
# Hint: In some systems, cron tasks might not properly use lockfiles to
# prevent themselves from being run twice in a row and some "strange"
# things might happen if the system is overloaded and a cron task takes
# more than expected. And, no, this is not something that Cron should
# prevent (for more information see Debian bug #194805).
#
# In order for this script to work
#
# together with the logging enhancements included
# in Debian's vixie cron (3.0pl1-95) that make it possible to log
# when do cron tasks end.
#
#
# How to use:
# - Modify /etc/init.d/cron so that the calls to cron pass the '-L 2'
# argument
# (Hint: change lines 27 and 47 so that they end with '-- -L 2 $LSBNAMES'
# instead of '-- $LSBNAMES')
# In Debian you need cron-3.0pl1-95 or later.
# Note: future versions of cron might use an /etc/default/cron file
# to provide arguments to cron.
#
# - Review /etc/syslog.conf to determine where does the output of the cron
# facility goes to (might be /var/log/syslog together with other messages
# but you can also configure syslog to store them at /var/log/cron.log)
#
# - Run the script (by default it will read input /var/log/syslog but you
# can point to other file using the '-f' switch) and review the output
#
# - (Optionally) If you want to analyse log files for a long period
# concatenate different log files, extract all CRON related entries
# to a file and process that.
#
# You could do, for example, this:
#
# zcat -f /var/log/syslog* | grep CRON >cron-log ; \
# perl stats-cron.pl -f cron-log
