VALUE = something
That *should* be:
VALUE="something"
If it isn't formatted without spaces and with the quotation marks, when the cron job script runs and tries to source the /etc/sysconfig/locate file, it sees "VALUE" as a command and cannot find such a command, instead of coming back with $VALUE being set to something.
Sorry, the quotes aren't neccessary unless "something" contains whitespace. But the whitespace between VALUE and = and something do break the config. BTW, checking some more, I found the same thing happened to every file in /etc/sysconfig that was touched by the Yast2 editing. Michael -- San Francisco, CA
