Anyone know why the 'System status' section of logdigest's extended status report is always blank on my 9.2 box? I've stared and stared at the script at /etc/cron.daily/logdigest and for the life of me don't understand why the `procinfo` that is supposed to show up in that section of the logdigest report comes out blank. All the other sections report something, and procinfo on the command line works fine, so what am I not seeing?

If I remember correctly, the problem was that 'procinfo' does refuse to work without a terminal (on 9.2). It was considered too minor to provide an update for this. But you should be able to work around by replacing `procinfo` by `TERM=dumb procinfo` in /etc/cron.daily/logdigest. Peter -- the big machine that goes "ping" got the little cardinal

Peter, You are a genius, that was it! I never, in a million years, would have figured that one out on my own, thanks! BTW, I checked and the same problem exists on my 9.1 box too, so it's not just 9.2. Scott
