No cron on SuSE 8 ?! (OT for security)
Hi, I wonder if there are any problems with cron on SuSE 8. None of my cron scripts work. It seems that they don't even start. I also put a simple command in my crontab (5 * * * * echo "Cronjob" | mail -s "Mail from cron" root). This doens't work, too. Why? Cron is running, the cronfiles are in /var/spool/cron/tabs. In messages I see that cron recognized that I modified/listed the crontabs. But nothing else. None of the users is listed in cron.allow (doesn't exist) and cron.deny. Any idea? Thx, Oliver

Yes. The idea is that you ask the question in a forum where it isn't
OFF TOPIC.

Oliver, Had you seen if cron is running? If not, try configure it in Yast2 at System > Runlevel editor -- /------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Osmany Washington | Athlon/Athlon XP/Athlon MP | | Sao Paulo - Brazil | | | Xns Consulting | Debian - 3.0 | | xtms.net - member staff | (o_ SuSE Linux - 8.0 | | | //\ SlackWare - 8.1.01 | | Linux User: 117352 | V_/_ OpenBSD - 3.1 | | ICQ: 29540045 | Red Hat - Arrgghhhh, NO | \------------------------------------------------------------------/ Schoenwaelder Oliver wrote:
