Bug#988245: ocsinventory-agent: cron script uses /bin/sh and RANDOM

[Malte Schirmacher]

Package: ocsinventory-agent
Version: 2:2.8-2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: malte.schirmacher at etecture.de

Dear Maintainer,

the automatically installed cron.daily script uses /bin/sh.
Trying to access $RANDOM later might fail on many systems as this variable is
not present causing the cronjob not to be executed at all.
Explicitly using /bin/bash fixes this.
