[Letsencrypt-devel] Bug#826752: certbot: cron job tries to renew every minute

[John Goerzen]

Package: certbot
Version: 0.6.0-2~bpo8+1
Severity: important

Hi folks,

/etc/cron.d/certbot says this:

* */12 * * * root perl -e 'sleep int(rand(3600))'; certbot -q renew

That means, within the specified hour, it calls this command EVERY
MINUTE.  Whoops.  Looks like this was fixed elsewhere in #825732.

John
