Description

Some of recurring Exasol database functionality (in particular log rotation) is implemented as custom cron jobs.

There is no workaround.

Fix

Several bugs affecting cron jobs in general and log rotation in particular have been fixed, so that daily log rotation works again as expected. This was temporarily broken after updating to the Ubuntu-based container because of a misconfiguration.
