Hello, I've SuSE 9.0 professional with Postfix installed on my Linux box. Postfix is confiquered to send all outgoing email to an smtp-relayhost. When I send an email mailq shows for all entries -> deferred transport. So I have to put the command 'sendmail -q' or 'postqueue -f' manually as root. For the sake of convenience I tried to deliver email with the crontab entry 'postqueue -f' with no success (see last line of /etc/crontab). If I enter the command in a shell, then everything works fine. Does anybody can give me a hint why the cronjob fails? Thanks Klaus ############################### # /etc/crontab SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/lib/news/bin MAILTO=root # # check scripts in cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly, and cron.monthly # -*/15 * * * * root test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons >/dev/null 2>&1 59 * * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly 14 4 * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily 29 4 * * 6 root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.weekly 44 4 1 * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.monthly */1 * * * * root /usr/sbin/postqueue -f ############################### -- Klaus Uetrecht Lehenstraße 17 Stuttgart
