Yeah. I get entries like the following every 15 minutes:

Nov 8 16:15:01 headnode2 crond[31979]: (root) CMD (/opt/sync_files/bin/sync_files >/dev/null 2>&1)

On your systems, does /var/log/cron show that sync_files is running
every 15 minutes on the head node?

This is the 4.2 beta 5 that we installed last week. The 4.2 final was
not available when we started the install.

Well, 4.2 is final. Do you mean a 4.2.1b1? I guess it doesn't make much
difference to the bug.

I just checked and it appears that our crontab file is ok. There is no
<CR> after the appended line however in /etc/crontab. Also, the stuff
gets
pushed out as expected. This is an older copy of 4.2b2 i think running
on
centos, x86-64.

Go ahead and file a bug if you think you have a problem. Something may
have happened somewhere along the line.

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
