Noticed in the field that an 8.2.1 XO-1 was running particularly slowly
and top showed some stuff happening with RPM.
Turns out that cron.daily creates a list of packages installed in the
system. And this bug is still present in 10.1.2.
While exploring I found that we are also doing a lot of other pointless
stuff scheduled.
I propose marking these files as non-executable:
{{{
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate
/etc/cron.daily/makewhatis
/etc/cron.daily/mlocate
/etc/cron.daily/readahead
/etc/cron.daily/rpm
/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch
/etc/cron.weekly/99-raid-check
/etc/cron.monthly/readahead-monthly.cron
}}}
