[opensuse] cron issue
by Nick Jones 09 May '07

09 May '07

Hello everyone. I've been having problems with cron running cron.daily jobs. I can't for the life of me figure it out and it is embarrassing and frustrating. First off cron doesn't log for shit. Sendmail wasn't running so I turned postfix on to see if mail shows up in root, it hasn't after 6 hours. I can see cron starting up in /var/log/messages, but that is it. I simply want to place a script called backup under cron.daily. So I run service cron restart, it checks /var/spool/tabs/ and /etc/crontab. The crontab is the default and should run cron.daily scripts. I've read that I need a file cron.daily under lastrun (which is empty now) so it's timestamp can be used. I've tried manually creating this and it doesn't work. Please HELP! Where do I look to see what is going wrong. I need hints. I *should* be able to reinstall cron, put a file under cron.daily, and sit back and relax (ie. cron.daily jobs are run by default on a fresh system with cron), but this doesn't work. Cron seems to be running (ie, sleeping, but not zombie or defunct). According to timestamps it is not reading any files in the system every 15 minutes and it should at least look in lastrun I believe. Here's some debug info. I restarted cron at 11:01 and it is a fresh install (uninstalled through yast, then reinstalled) dendrite:/var/spool # ls -lu /etc/cron.daily/ total 52 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 409 2007-05-07 16:10 backup -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2928 2007-05-03 15:55 beagle-crawl-system -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 393 2007-05-03 15:55 logrotate -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 948 2007-05-03 15:55 suse-clean_catman tail /var/log/cron | grep -i cron May 8 11:01:35 dendrite /usr/sbin/cron[8398]: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0) dendrite:/var/spool # ls -lu /var/spool/cron/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 2007-05-06 04:00 lastrun drwx------ 2 root root 48 2007-05-08 11:01 tabs dendrite:/var/spool # ls -lu /etc/crontab -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 274 2007-05-08 11:01 /etc/crontab dendrite:/var/spool # cat /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 dendrite:/var/spool # ls -lu /var/spool/cron/tabs/ total 0 dendrite:/var/spool # ps -Al | grep cron 1 S 0 8398 1 0 78 0 - 494 - ? 00:00:00 cron dendrite:/var/spool # ps -Al | grep syslog 5 S 0 3023 1 0 75 0 - 1239 - ? 00:00:19 syslog-ng 5 S 0 3043 1 0 75 0 - 430 syslog ? 00:00:14 klogd dendrite:/var/spool # cat /etc/cron.daily/backup #!/bin/sh date >> /var/log/backup.log mount -v /backup >> /var/log/backup.log rsync -au / /backup/ --exclude ppg --exclude fmri --exclude /Network/people --exclude /backup --exclude /sys --exclude /proc --exclude /var/tmp --exclude /backup --exclude /home/bruss/external_mp3.dir --exclude /mnt >> /var/log/backup.log umount /backup >> /var/log/backup.log echo "backup complete" >> /var/log/backup.log dendrite:/var/spool # Perhaps I should compile it from source, this is a yast binary.

The exception is when your crontab line starts with "-" (a hyphen), then job start logging is turned off. (In fact, when your ipdetect cron job really works, you might want to turn off job start logging that way.) If there are no respective log entries, execute "touch /etc/cron.d" to be on the save side. cron detects changes in files in cron.d only if the timestamp of the directory /etc/cron.d changes as well. Alternatively, call "rccron restart". After touching cron.d, there must be log entry that cron re-read the crontab files, maybe one or two minutes later. Your crontab syntax itself is OK, that's not the cause.

[opensuse] cron problems
by Mohamed Haidar 09 May '07

09 May '07

Hello guys, I have a problem with cron. I got a program for updating my ip to a internet dns host and i set it up correctly. The program works. Now with the program came a file that i putt in the /etc/cron.d dir because the program instructed me to do that. Basically what I want to do is to let the program run once a minute. The file I putt in the cron.d dir contains these entries : * * * * * root /usr/bin/ipdetect.sh */15 * * * * root /usr/bin/ipdetect.sh -p host -r browser -c Now cron doesn't run the ipdetect script, never. I did some investigation and I found out that cron doesn't have any log files or conf files on my system, which I thought was a bit strange. So all I did was to putt the file in the /etc/cron.d dir, do I have to do anything else or is the a problem with the cronsetup on my system or what do you guys think. If I do a ps aux then I find that cron is running on the system from boot. Thx guys for your aid. Regards, mohed. _________________________________________________________________ Don't just search.

This fails with the error that " parse error in line 135 section device in file /var/lib/sax/xorg.conf "WXGATV" is not a valid keyword in this section " Any clues what to do ?

[opensuse] double X server problem ATI fglrx driver SOLVED
by M Harris 09 May '07

09 May '07

For the archive... I recently updated an on-board pci video with the ATI X1050 (hardware) and activated the card's 3D accelerator (see the archive for the details). I soon noticed that two X servers were running (one session owner, the other sleeping) both on :0 vtty7, the one looking like a fork of the other... same mem, same start time, incremental process id, no associated -:0 and no running time... obviously not doing anything except taking up memory and irritating me. :-O Well, I wanted the fglrx driver from ATI for the 3D acceleration and failed to realize that the larger contribution of the driver is dual head support. Although I had the xorg.conf configured as only one screen, CLONE mode off, Xinerama off, DesktopSetup "s" (single), and have only ONE display card with only ONE monitor... the silly driver starts a second X server to handle the second head --- if I ever want to add it ! I have not been able to find a way to prevent the startup, except to turn on Xinerama. Xinerama will handle both monitors on one X server as one large desk... or, by turning Xinerama off two X servers can be running, one for each of the monitors. If I turn on Xinerama then the second X server does not startup... *and* 3D acceleration is not activated. <rats, catch 22> Of course all the help on the web is regarding HOWTO make dual heads work... not HOWTO disable dual heads.... :^) So, it looks like this little feature is normal... the second server (always has a larger process number and Stat codes of SL+ ) can be killed -SIGTERM, and the primary session owner will function fine without it--- (has a lower process id, active time, and Stat codes of SLs+ ). Or if memory is not an issue... just let it sit in memory.... I'm pretty sure its not a trojan waiting to do something naughty. Probably not. Most likely not. nah. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kdm starts twice, not good
by Vince L 09 May '07

09 May '07

I seem to have got myself to a situation where kdm shows itself in the tty1 console as starting twice at boot into runlevel 5. The outcome is a solid freeze, usually sooner rather than later, requiring a reset. If I boot to runlevel 3 and call kdm from the tty1 console, all is fine I have done a little 'print' debugging and found that K15xdm gets called twice, I think as part of runlevel change. Can anyone point me to a good resource which will help me trace through the process of changing to runlevel 5, and get to the bottom of the problem? Using boxed opensuse 10.2, AMD 64 bit with dual opterons and a matrox g450, FWIW - I am more inclined to think it is to do with fiddling with the /etc/sysconfig editor and inadvertently changing things.

Maybe you'll start your investigation by discarding the "-" at the start of the run-crons command line in /etc/crontab. Then the execution of run-crons is logged in syslog. There you can see if it is called at all. Then, run "sh -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons" to see what happens in the run-cron script and what scripts are called when. Maybe the check for ac-power is wrong, or whatever. Up to 10.0, do *not* create the timestamp file in /var/spool/cron/lastrun, to the contrary: _remove it_ for each and every test anew. You might think that you can set the timestamp of that file with touch, but that's not the case: run-cron uses its ctime, not its mtime. So "ls -l" does not show you the time that would be used. From 10.1 onwards, there is a config variable in /etc/sysconfig/cron that tells when cron.daily/* should be executed. I hope that puts you on the right track.
