Hi peoples... Hope we all had a pleasent Christmas break...
I have two machines here, one is running MDK 7.2 and the other is running the 8.1 powerpack. I have installed Trend filescan onto both successfully so I can protect the winblows boxes that are connected to it. In order to setup auto update, I have to add a crontab entry to both systems that looks like this: 20 2,11,20 * * * /opt/trend/ISADMIN/cgi-bin/getptn_net.cgi | grep H2 | grep -v "up to date" On the mandrake 7.2 box, that seems to work flawlessly.. but nothing happens at all on the 8.1 box.. if I run /opt/trend/ISADMIN/cgi-bin/getptn_net.cgi manually on the 8.1 box, it works fine,, it just isn't being started by crontab.. someone told me I have to specify the user I want it to run as.. in this case that has to be root. I had to remove root from the above crontab to get it workin in 7.2, and it didn't seem to help the 8.1 box either, so I removed it.. Does anyone know why this would happen? Is there any difference between contab in 8.1 and 7.2???? This is the last thing I need to fix on this box before it can go on all the servers I look after. This has been up for about a monnth now, and not a problem in site.. (other then mandrakeupdate, which needs less said about it rather then more.) Anyone have any clues??? rgds Frank
