[Oscar-devel] sync_files and crond

Title: Re: [Oscar-devel] Mandrake 10.1 and systeminstaller ---> now Mandriva

Let me kick this around to the group before I post a bug.   I just finished installing two 36-node clusters (em64t and Itanium 2) using the latest beta of OSCAR 4.2 on RHEL3U5. Everything works or has been documented as an issue, except that sync_files isn’t running.   As OSCAR sets up the crontab file, sync_files should run every 15 minutes, but it’s failing to run on both clusters, even after reboot. No error messages as I can see and all of the other cron jobs are running.   I opened the crontab file with vi and it reported that it was missing EOF. I added a <CR> after the sync_files line, saved it, and restarted crond. After that, logs show sync_files running every 15 minutes.   Is this a known issue or am I just missing something?   Thanks,   Jeremy
