fcron and fcrondyn
Im running the 2.6.14.5 Kernel using Trustix, and I noticed that none of roots cronjobs (like logrotate) were running. I restarted the fcron daemon, but didnt seem to fix the problem. To verify this, I used the fcrondyn program, which allows you do things dynamically with cronjobs. So I ran fcrondyn in debug mode and here is what I saw:
Hi I set up my computer to dual boot (one physical drive) WinXP and Ubuntu Linux (5.10) yesterday. However, it dual boots fine...
#fcrondyn -d 08:58:50 fcronconf=-etc-fcron.conf 08:58:50 called with echo='OFF', prompt='pbuttword for root :'. pbuttword for root :
At this point I ran a listing (ls root)
command : ls uid = 0 ID SCHEDULE CMD No corresponding job found.
Yet, my roots crontab file reads:
SHELL=-bin-bash PATH=-sbin:-bin:-usr-bin:-usr-sbin
#run parts 01 * * * * run-partsetc-cron.hourly 02 0 * * * run-partsetc-cron.daily 22 0 * * 0 run-partsetc-cron.weekly 42 0 1 * * run-partsetc-cron.monthly
On Tuesday 25 July 2006 23:55, PaulFXH stood up and spoke the following words to the mbuttes incomp.os.linux.misc...: The redundant and obviously defective Windows boot options most likely...
On other machines which are running the same software, the results of the 'ls root' command in the fcrondyn prompt should have produced a listing of the complete contents of root's crontab, along with job ID's and other identifying notations.
Ive done a lot of troubleshotting on this issue, including matching up file permissions, verifying packages, googling a lot and nothing was come close to working.
Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated! I will watch this thread like a hawk and respond asap to any questions.
Thanks,
Eric
