Hi, I am running stock 7.1. As of yesterday I started to receive the following warning message: find: /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily: No such file or directory from the cron daemon. Problem is that the file does exist, albeit empty. Any suggestions as to what this means? TIA Francesco
This is not a critical warning, but if it stays, it may indicate something is wrong. Each time cron runs the scripts in cron.daily (directory), it creates that file to remember when it was last run. I would recommend to delete it and see when and if the messages return... Also, check the permissions on the file... Kind regards Guy

Still errors - the file exists with rw r r and owner root. It was last accessed when I woke up the laptop this morning. It is empty. I am still getting the same error message. Any suggestions. I shall make it world writeable as an experiment. TIA Francesco What intrigues me is that I had not been logged in as root for a few days prior to this happenning and am not aware of having gone anywhere near cron or find.
