Repeating tasks

[mcemberci]

Tasks that should work once every night start to work around 22:00 at night and continue until around 01:00 at night by repeating every 2-3 minutes, so many report mails are generated and delivered. The problem has been going on since 9 January. How can I fix this?

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

This seems odd - please share the journal from the timeframe - anonymize what you have to:
`journalctl --since '2025-01-21'` should give you the journal since yesterday 00:00

Problem started at Jan 09


It contains only current day log.

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

please use journalctl on the command-line.

do you still get mails around the clock informing your about pending updates? - then you can share the journal of 1-2 days ago as well

 

[mcemberci]

Unfortunately, there is only last days log available.
I receive status report emails, but I was not receiving any emails about pending updates before.

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

what's the output of journalctl without any parameters? - please post the results as text in a code-block instead of a screenshot

Without any parameters journalctl outputs as follows
