Could you simply run the commands I sugested,, and copy here the output? Just copy paste the following lines into a terminal, one by one:
ls -l /etc/cron.daily/suse.de-updatedb
cat /etc/sysconfig/locate | egrep -v "^[[:space:]]*$|^#"
cat /etc/sysconfig/cron | egrep -v "^[[:space:]]*$|^#"
Sure I can here they are: # ls -l /etc/cron.daily/suse.de-updatedb -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1538 Jun 6 21:44 /etc/cron.daily/suse.de-updatedb erikja:~ # cat /etc/sysconfig/locate | egrep -v "^[[:space:]]*$|^#" RUN_UPDATEDB=yes RUN_UPDATEDB_AS=nobody UPDATEDB_NETPATHS="" UPDATEDB_PRUNEPATHS="/mnt /cdrom /tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /var/spool /proc /media /sys" UPDATEDB_NETUSER="" UPDATEDB_PRUNEFS="" # cat /etc/sysconfig/locate | egrep -v "^[[:space:]]*$|^#" RUN_UPDATEDB=yes RUN_UPDATEDB_AS=nobody UPDATEDB_NETPATHS="" UPDATEDB_PRUNEPATHS="/mnt /cdrom /tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /var/spool /proc /media /sys" UPDATEDB_NETUSER="" UPDATEDB_PRUNEFS="" # cat /etc/sysconfig/cron | egrep -v "^[[:space:]]*$|^#" REINIT_MANDB=yes DELETE_OLD_CATMAN=yes CATMAN_ATIME=7 MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP="0" MAX_DAYS_IN_LONG_TMP="0" TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR="/tmp" LONG_TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR="" OWNER_TO_KEEP_IN_TMP="root" CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOTUP="no" DAILY_TIME="" MAX_NOT_RUN="5" SEND_MAIL_ON_NO_ERROR="no" SYSLOG_ON_NO_ERROR="yes"
Sorry for having bored you all.
The mail list is for all kinds of users. You simply have to pay a little attention: we can't do things for you, we are not there, we can't know what's the matter with your system unless you telll us what you see.
So be patient :-)
I will try to pay more attention and be more patient. I thank you for your patience, thanks so much. Also a great thanks for the linux related helps.
For instance, I suggest that, if in the output from the above commands you see:
SYSLOG_ON_NO_ERROR="no"
you edit the file "/etc/sysconfig/cron" and change it to yes. This, if I'm not mistaken, will make cron log its workings like this:
Mar 22 01:15:22 nimrodel run-crons[557]: beagle-crawl-system: OK Mar 22 01:15:22 nimrodel su: (to news) root on none Mar 22 01:18:41 nimrodel run-crons[557]: leafnode: OK Mar 22 01:18:42 nimrodel run-crons[557]: logrotate: OK Mar 22 01:18:44 nimrodel run-crons[557]: suse-clean_catman: OK ...
so that we can know when and if each individual task is being run.
I see
