Hi, I have added a cron task to my package via the package xxx.cron file. (I am using sid)
However, it never gets executed.... (not exactly true, it happened to occur once...) In my syslog file I can see: Apr 12 13:04:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[2999]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD (/etc/cron.d/xgrid) Apr 12 13:10:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[2999]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD (/etc/cron.d/xgrid) Apr 12 13:17:01 VM-247 /USR/SBIN/CRON[3384]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Apr 12 13:20:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[2999]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD (/etc/cron.d/xgrid) Apr 12 13:24:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[2999]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD (/etc/cron.d/xgrid) Apr 12 13:29:48 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[3478]: (CRON) INFO (pidfile fd = 3) Apr 12 13:29:48 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[3479]: (CRON) STARTUP (fork ok) Apr 12 13:29:48 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[3479]: (CRON) INFO (Skipping @reboot jobs -- not system startup) Apr 12 13:46:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[3479]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD (/etc/cron.d/xgrid) My cron file /etc/cron.d/xgrid is correctly loaded ( I tried to update it several times to force reload). I even tried to reboot cron service (last lines). But it never gets executed.... Here is my cron file: root@VM-247:# more /etc/cron.d/xgrid 0/5 * * * * root xgrid-graph >/dev/null 2>&1 I added a blank line after my cron definition (or a comment line) as I have seen there were issues with issues (don(t know if it is still true). If I execute the command manually it works fine. And anyway, error should appear in syslog. could someone tell me if I did something wrong or if it is a cron issue.... thanks Olivier -- gpg key id: 4096R/326D8438 (keyring.debian.org) Key fingerprint = 5FB4 6F83 D3B9 5204 6335 D26D 78DC 68DB 326D 8438 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
