Bug created. Thanks. I worked around the problem by renaming the pmgreport binary.
*** W A R N I N G ***
Use at your OWN discretion.
I wanted to help those who need something more prescriptive.
I've now placed the following entries within a script called
"stopdailyreport", placing it within the directory
"/usr/local/bin". The script consists of three (3) cmd lines:
systemctl stop pmgreport.timer
systemctl disable pmgreport.timer
systemctl mask --now pmgreport.timer
This
*should* work - bug or no bug - to ensure that your Daily Report(s) does not initiate.
Confirm after performing the abovementioned commands.
Follow by using the command
"reboot"; confirm using
"systemctl status pmgreport.timer".
Output should look like this:
root@proxmox:~# systemctl status pmgreport.timer
* pmgreport.timer
Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit pmgreport.timer is masked.)
Active: inactive (dead)
Trigger: n/a
If you feel that you want to ensure that these commands are performed at startup each and every time, use the attached files.
Place both files under the
"/usr/local/bin" directory; enter
"chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/stopdaily*".
Confirm files through the following commands:
root@proxmox:/etc/rc3.d# ls -alF /usr/local/bin
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 28 10:54 ./
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jul 15 2021 ../
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 346 Mar 28 10:54 stopdaily*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 123 Mar 28 10:51 stopdaily.t*
Execute the command
"/usr/local/bin/stopdaily", and should see the following output:
root@proxmox:/usr/local/bin# ./stopdaily
Begin task 'stopdaily'...
** Removing files
** Copying files
Task is complete.
Confirm through the following commands:
