thanks for your reply. i'm well aware of the fact that this suse verion is really too old, but as we're having a major upgrade round in half a year, i want to wait until then. and, besides that: it has always been running perfectly, so why change a winning team..? (apache is upgraded to the latest version, btw...) anyway: thanks for you suggestions, but they did not solve the problem. any other suggestions? (otherwise, i guess that maybe i should manually compress the files then every now and then.) thanks for having taken the time to reply. yours, mourik jan

I have posted this same question last week, and did not get any responses. I wonder if i missed something really obvious that nobody cares to share with me, or if really nobody knows the answer, or has any ideas how to solve this issue...

IMHO the SuSE version you are using far too old and hence no response

...

yet, it does not compress. Even when I run the /etc/cron.daily/aaa_base by hand, it does not display any errors, yet the file has not been compressed. root also doesn't get any messages from the script. though it does seem to be running for a while, and the system is quite buzy, while the script runs.

What could be wrong? Any ideas?

Two options

a) add a "-x" parameter to aaa_base and capture the output to a file so you can have a look what is going on

b) restart cron and see if it does work
