[Bug 457607] [NEW] cron errors: grep: /etc/libvirt/qemu/*.xml: No such file or directory

[Loïc Minier]

Public bug reported:

Hi

I got a mail from cron this night:
/etc/cron.daily/libvirt-bin:                                                    
grep: /etc/libvirt/qemu/*.xml: No such file or directory                        

Looking at /etc/cron.daily/libvirt-bin:

for i in /etc/libvirt/qemu/*.xml ; do
    uuid=`grep '<uuid>' "$i" | sed 's#.*<uuid>\(.*\)</uuid>.*#\1#'`
    uuids="$uuids $uuid"
done

I can reproduce with:
sh -c 'for i in /etc/foo*bar; do echo $i; done'
/etc/foo*bar

Proposed change, add a backtick expansion and call ls; i.e.:
for i in `ls /etc/libvirt/qemu/*.xml 2>/dev/null`; do

Note that this continues execution even in set -e mode:
sh -c 'set -e; for i in `ls /etc/foo*bar 2>/dev/null`; do echo $i; done; echo true'

Thanks,
