Re: [opensuse] cron issue
Sorry, I had discarded my reply and started another one and forgot to include the opensuse list (DOH!). I will uninstall kpowersave, good idea. Thanks alot for the advice. Nick On 5/9/07, Joachim Schrod <jschrod@acm.org> wrote:

Well, that's the cause of your problems:
on_ac_power -q
returns with the exit code 1. If this is not a laptop in battery mode, it should return with an exit code 0.
But now we're at the end of the stuff that I know -- it will be better to send your last response to me again to the opensuse mailing list. (In fact, it is always better to send responses to the list; so that others in your situation can look up the answer in the archives as well.) Perhaps somebody else on the list can tell you why /usr/bin/on_ac_power returns with a wrong result.
Of course, as a quick workaround, you can use chmod -x /usr/bin/on_ac_power But this might break again if some update package appears for powersave.
Or, if your system is not a laptop, you might want to remove the package powersave (and kpowersave) and get rid of the whole problem. :-)
Best, Joachim

The on_ac_power in the pm_utils package has a bug. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221999#c9 I read this bug awhile ago but did not think it was the issue I was having (doh! again). I uninstalled powersaved and now cron seems to be running my daily job, although it didn't run any other scripts in cron.daily (MAX_DAILY ???). Not sure if it is MAX_DAILY because I do have the daily time set. I will uninstall pm-utils as well and see if the other scripts like logrotate get their utimes updated (is utime access time?).

And powersave, too. (It contains the defective program.) kpowersave is just an obvious reverse dependency that apt told me about.
