Each time I think the mail log reporting issue is resolved I find that it is not.
Yesterday I received one of the two reports, today none. Both days the results of the 'set' command was mailed to me showing that the process supposedly ran and exited with the success code of '0'. That the 19th line of /etc/cron.daily/1pflogsumm (set -x > log_error.txt 2>&1) is processed by the shell and the results e-mailed to me suggests that the 1pflogsumm script has actually been run, but the mailed report has not been appended to my INBOX (/var/spool/mail/rshepard). I can manually run /usr/local/bin/pflogsumm (using the options in the shell script)and the report is written to stdout; did so just now. However, today I cannot manually run /etc/cron.daily/1pflogsumm; yesterday I could. This all leads me to believe that the problem is primarily with invoking the shell script. Why the results of the set command are delivered to my inbox while the results of the rest of the script are not makes on sense to me. Here are relevant entries from the procmail log: >From r...@salmo.appl-ecosys.com Thu May 21 00:02:02 2009 Subject: salmo Daily Mail Report for Thursday, 21 May 2009 Folder: /var/spool/mail/rshepard >From r...@salmo.appl-ecosys.com Thu May 21 00:02:06 2009 Subject: cron: /etc/cron.daily/1pflogsumm Folder: /var/spool/mail/rshepard >From r...@salmo.appl-ecosys.com Fri May 22 00:02:06 2009 Subject: cron: /etc/cron.daily/1pflogsumm Folder: /var/spool/mail/rshepard The first entry is /etc/cron.daily/1pflogsumm run from root's crontab. The second entry is the log_error.txt mailed from that invocation of the script. While other scripts in /etc/cron.daily ran at 04:40 yesterday, 1pflogsumm did not. The third entry is the log_error.tex from this morning's invocation of 1pflogsumm in root's crontab, not the usual daily run of all scripts at 04:40. None of this makes sense to me as it is inconsistent. What more can I do to test to try to find what's happening? Is it a cron issue somehow? I am stymied and frustrated that this cannot be quickly resolved.
