further info:
reinstalled cronie
received duplicate cron error emails that mairix failed for existing lock.file
but mairix_database *was* updated
Apparently cronie is starting *three* instances of: */10 * * * * /usr/bin/mairix -p > /dev/null
The first is successful and the other two fail
rpm -e --nodeps cronie reinstalled cron
This information was added to the bug_report bnc#580438
I closed the bug, WORKS FOR ME. Investigation revealed that the install somehow provided multiple processes of cron active. Whether I did it or the install script, I don't know. Killing the extra processes resolved the problem and cronie has performed properly for the last eight hours. Will advise if further problems. tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
