hey..
I wonder about the last update of fcron.It is an update to 3.1.1, there
is a new /etc/crontab file, which is mixed
with /etc/fcronfcrontab, without update notice. The latest stable
version is 3.0.6 on the fcron homepage.
bye, jens.
Looks like fcron has changed its user group from cron to fcron. Once I
realised this I have been able to add users to fcron and it works - for
users.
However I have quite a number of system level root jobs that I cant list
or edit using crontab -e or -l on multiple systems

complex to set up than cron, but far more
to reveive mail from fcron but: no.
Is there something else to configure? Do I need to setup a
complete mailserver for log mails? Do I have to create a
fully fledge email account?
Slightly confused...

Hello,
I am not new in fcron but I have never used all its functionalities. In
fact, I only use -lines in crontab which are like in Cron. However,
today, I need to use Fcron for executions like once all Friday between
10:00 and 13:00. So I read Fcrontab(5) again. And I thought %-lines are

You missed the message that flew by when emerging fcron...
Fcron includes the /etc/cron.* directories but does not install cron jobs
for them automatically, and it does not support /etc/crontab (as other crons
do).
You need
root cron 4096 Apr 7 2009 cron
drwsrws--- 2 fcron fcron 4096 Nov 10 20:00 fcron
drwxr-xr-x 2 mail root 4096 Apr 7 2009 mail
drwxr-xr-x 2 smmsp root 4096 Apr 24 2009 mqueue
mail.somemydomain.com ~ # more /etc/passwd | grep mail
mail:x:8:12:added by portage for mailbase:/var/spool
in milliseconds :-)

Blimey! That sounds like horribly_broken!
Which cron do you recommend for a desktop?
I switched from vixie-cron to fcron within a couple of days of first
installing Gentoo. The Gentoo handbook suggested vixie-cron, but it
proved to be a bucket of bolts. The version

This is a (sanitised) extract from /var/log/messages :

every minute via an fcron entry, output goes
into a log file, and I use the file monitor plasmoid to watch this log
file in KDE.
It's working fine, but also monitor my syslog in another file
monitor plamoid, and now I get lots of these entries:

not quite right. Vixie cron should handle the
/etc/cron.* directories automatically.
Fcron, what I'm using, does not and requires additions to root's crontab to
get them to work.
To the OP, is a) vixie cron actually running, b) the scripts in the
directories have the execution permissions, and c
My apologies for triple-posting this. I can't tell which list would
be most appropriate, since it is a user, development, and performance
issue (albeit a minor performance issue).
This is a small essay on Gentoo's setup for fcron.
My issue:
I just installed fcron and I have to say, I'm
run a daemon process or kill one, this doesn't
persist across a reboot. I've tried using fcron to schedule user
processes to re-start after a re-boot... but this feels like a hack.
Is there a standard Gentoo way to solve this (I presume common) task?

Hm, logrotate -d? How's logrotate being called? E.g. if it's cron,
what cron daemon are you using? E.g. fcron and dcron don't support a
system wide crontab in /etc/crontab, so things in /etc/cron.* won't
ever be called.
