I've got a problem with a cron job that just seems so weird to me. It has to do with fnews, which I loaded up yesterday...
if I run '/usr/local/bin/fnews -f /root/news/fnewsgroups' from the terminal everything runs just fine.... fnews pulls my injects and passes them to my mailing list. But if I try to run this all from cron I get the following error: -----Forwarded Message----- > From: Cron Daemon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Cron <root@mail> sh /root/news/cronrun > Date: 14 Dec 2002 14:30:01 -0500 > > Connecting to news.cavtel.net at port 119: .. done. > fnews: //news/rec.arts.comics.dc.universe: cache create error: No such file > or directory Disconnecting from news.cavtel.net: done. /etc/crontab 01 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/fnews -f /root/news/fnewsgroups I also tried this 01 * * * * root sh /root/news/cronrun /root/news/cronrun /usr/local/bin/fnews -f /root/news/fnewsgroups Any idea why this works from the terminal, but not in cron??
