I have the exact same problem. And both cron and postfix are up and running. Testing sending a mail to root via sendmail works just fine. But nothing whatsoever from cron. In fact, in /var/log/messages there aren't any entries from cron besides the startup, Nov 13 19:49:50 beata /usr/sbin/cron[3776]: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0). I'm running 11.1, and I would expect the update script to be run every day, but apparently not.. I have to look into this more.
On a freshly installed 11.2 system, I've just gone through this: as user 'per': crontab -e (entry='* * * * * echo klop') After a couple of minutes, from /var/log/messages Nov 16 19:42:01 guest50 /usr/sbin/cron[4668]: (per) CMD (echo klop) Nov 16 19:43:01 guest50 /usr/sbin/cron[4693]: (per) CMD (echo klop) Nov 16 19:44:01 guest50 /usr/sbin/cron[4749]: (per) CMD (echo klop) And from /var/log/mail: Nov 16 19:42:01 guest50 postfix/qmgr[3121]: D990C92CC: from=<per@guest50.local.net>, size=464, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Nov 16 19:42:02 guest50 postfix/local[4679]: D990C92CC: to=<per@guest50.local.net>, orig_to=<per>, relay=local, delay=0.45, delays=0.24/0.08/0/0.13, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to maildir) Nov 16 19:43:01 guest50 postfix/pickup[4424]: CBCA8B050: uid=1000 from=<per> Nov 16 19:43:01 guest50 postfix/cleanup[4676]: CBCA8B050: message-id=<20091116184301.CBCA8B050@guest50.local.net> Nov 16 19:43:01 guest50 postfix/qmgr[3121]: CBCA8B050: from=<per@guest50.local.net>, size=464, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Nov 16 19:43:01 guest50 postfix/local[4679]: CBCA8B050: to=<per@guest50.local.net>, orig_to=<per>, relay=local, delay=0.14, delays=0.06/0/0/0.08, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to maildir) So, cron is running, and the mail is being generated and sent. Nonetheless, when I check the local mail for 'per' using 'mail', there isn't any .... Still, when checking '/home/per/Maildir' : ls -1 /home/per/Maildir/new/ 1258396922.V902I100fM51598.guest50 1258396981.V902I1012M855705.guest50 1258397041.V902I1013M920533.guest50 1258397102.V902I1014M63284.guest50 1258397161.V902I1015M128741.guest50 1258397221.V902I1016M299739.guest50 1258397281.V902I1017M329716.guest50 I think the problem is in /etc/postfix/main.cf which has the following: home_mailbox = Maildir/ Comment that out, reload postfix, and you'll see the old, familiar:
mail Heirloom mailx version 12.2 01/07/07. Type ? for help. "/var/spool/mail/per": 1 message 1 new N 1 per@guest50.local. Mon Nov 16 19:53 19/598 Cron <per@guest50> echo klop ?
Note - I don't know why "home_mailbox = Maildir/" was used, so commenting it out might well screw up something else. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
