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???
