Cron error for collect info

Since the last virtualmin upgrade I am seeing this error when the collect info job runs: sh: line 1: 27765 Segmentation fault yum info 2> /dev/null

The contents of the perl script /etc/webmin/virtual-server/collectinfo.pl are:

!/usr/bin/perl

open(CONF, "/etc/webmin/miniserv.conf"); while() { $root = $1 if (/^root=(.*)/); } close(CONF); $ENV{'PERLLIB'} = "$root"; $ENV{'WEBMIN_CONFIG'} = "/etc/webmin"; $ENV{'WEBMIN_VAR'} = "/var/webmin"; chdir("$root/virtual-server"); exec("$root/virtual-server/collectinfo.pl", @ARGV) || die "Failed to run $root/virtual-server/collectinfo.pl : $!";

The file has root.root ownership and permissions are -rwxr-xr-x

Any ideas why the error?

Hmm, that's an unusual problem.

How much RAM does your server have? You can determine that by running "free -m". If you could post that output here, that'd be great!

Also, what happens if you log in as root, and run the command "yum info" -- do you receive output for that, or do you get an error of some sort?

Thanks for the help and you pointed me in the right direction. I found it was the rpmforge repo causing the segfault. It's apparently a known issue. I am disabling rpmforge for now.

That explains the problem I had :-)
