SELinux prevents sadc from writing to non-standard directories when called from cron

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • If I run the following command as root, it works:
# /usr/lib64/sa/sadc 1 8 /opt/sartest
  • But if I run the same command under cron SELinux causes the job to fail:
...
41 22 * * * root /usr/lib64/sa/sadc 1 8 /opt/sartest

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
