Hi,

it would be reasonable to check whether programs which are called
by cron daemon really exist.  While most of the cron.d entries are
just comments it might happen that one entry was uncommented and
later the program which is called was deinstalled.  This happened
in my case with fetchmail.  Thus I think the cron.d script should
be enhanced like this:


--- otrs_fetchmail.orig 2005-04-05 23:06:53.000000000 +0200
+++ otrs_fetchmail      2005-06-30 10:28:40.265018760 +0200
@@ -6,5 +6,5 @@
 # This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

 # fetch every 5 minutes emails via fetchmail
-#*/5 * * * * otrs /usr/bin/fetchmail --fetchmailrc /etc/otrs/fetchmailrc -a >> 
/dev/null 
+#*/5 * * * * otrs [ -x /usr/bin/fetchmail ] ; then /usr/bin/fetchmail 
--fetchmailrc /etc/otrs/fetchmailrc -a >> /dev/null ; fi


In case this was intentionally done this way to trigger any error message
from the system feel free to close this bug, but for my understanding it
would be reasonable this way.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
