Bug#974133: sipwitch: /etc/cron.hourly calls "sipwitch", this does not exist

[Jonathan Krebs]

Package: sipwitch
Version: 1.9.15-3+b1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I installed the package sipwitch

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Every hour, I get an email from a failed cron job

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

nothing :)


/etc/cron.hourly contains:

if test -p /var/run/sipwitch/control ; then
        sipwitch period 60 ; fi


but the "sipwitch" executable does not exist, there is only "sipw", but
this does not take the argument "periode".
