Category: command line scripts Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Wim Heirman (wheirman) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: cron failures are sent to mailman list Initial Comment: When a cronjob fails (e.g. nightly_gzip has a permission problem), the output is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, mailman is by default a mailing list (at least it was on my older Debian system, I copied the /var/mailman/lists from there to a new Fedora Core 3 installation). Since root is not on the mailman list, I get "message awaits moderator approval" messages. Shouldn't the error go straight to root? For instance, with a MAILTO=root directive in /etc/cron.d/mailman ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Brad Knowles (shub) Date: 2005-01-28 10:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=18417 This sounds like an OS/distribution-specific issue. I get no such problems with Mailman on FreeBSD (for ntp.isc.org), nor with Mailman on Debian (for python.org). Feel free to try out your suggested change, and if it works, then recommend that to the people at Redhat for inclusion in future versions of their RPM. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1111321&group_id=103 _______________________________________________ Mailman-coders mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-coders
