Bug#349971: moodle: cron script generating 144 mails per day

2006-01-26 Thread Gavin McCullagh
Package: moodle
Version: 1.5.3+20060108-1
Severity: normal


In answer to bug #345930, the cron script was changed to use php4-cli
instead of wget on the web server.

The previous cron script had wget output sent to /dev/null.  The new
script doesn't do this, so it generates a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  This
happens every 5 minutes which is rather a lot of mails.

Could I suggest this change to /etc/cron.d/moodle:

- */5 * * * * www-data [ -f /usr/share/moodle/admin/cron.php ]  /usr/bin/php4 
-f /usr/share/moodle/admin/cron.php
+ */5 * * * * www-data [ -f /usr/share/moodle/admin/cron.php ]  /usr/bin/php4 
-f /usr/share/moodle/admin/cron.php /dev/null

or something similar.

Gavin

Yup, you're right, sorry :(

I would fix it soon.

Best regards
