We've been discussing this problem for a while now, and I have one specific related question left. It all seems to boil down to a shell script that contains, among other things, these lines: # start backup - set cron mode, set nice level to not slowdown other processes # set server component testsuite to parse UI requests nice -n 15 /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base backup '("cron")' '("'$PROFILE'")' testsuite > /dev/null The messages from cron that end up in root mail look something like this: Subject: Cron <root@SuSE64> /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/backup_cron "profile=partial_backup" X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh> X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root> X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin> X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root> X-Cron-Env: <USER=root> Date: Mon, 24 Dec 2007 00:01:02 -0800 (PST) No such client module backup Question is, where is client module 'backup' supposed to come from? One would think that YaST would be installed with whatever modules are needed to handle the tasks that it offers, but perhaps not? Does anyone know if there's something more I need to install in order for this not to fail?
