There are several methods.
You can configure periodic(8) itself through settings in

I have a script that works fine from command line.
But when I run it from cron , its not displaying all the info.
Looks like cron is limiting the char length.

I think I know what happened but I'm not sure
of the initial settings of
/etc/newsyslog.conf or any other conf files. the only commands I ran on
the system were the long string of chmod commands I listed.
The point is that newsyslog will delete them for you.

use any other cron job

Am i doing something wrong? is it a stupid thing?
The crontab runs at the schedualed times and I can see in /var/log/cron
/usr/sbin/cron[18525]: (root) CMD (/path/deny.sh)
But the ipfw
Archive: macrdef2.zip

inflating: MACRO.ASC
SIGN.DEF is a duplicates!
SIGN2.DEF is a duplicates!
MACRO.DEF is a duplicates!
but when I run it through cron it exhibits the same behavior as the first scripts
I am calling the system and running the date command before it downloads

Hi,
I use linux on my laptop and installed FreeBSD on my PC.
In linux I used anacron to get all the lost cron jobs my laptop was not on.
Is there something similar (or is anacron ported to FreeBSD) on FreeBSD?
Thanx for any help.
Oliver

After the upgrade I get now 2 messages from sendmail daily when cron runs.
What's happened? Also, is there other/better solution?
According to periodic.conf(5), daily_status_security_output is only
meaningful
How can I get rid of cron-sendmail messages in FreeBSD 4.9?
In FreeBSD 4.7 the following worked:
/etc/crontab
MAILTO=
/etc/periodic.conf

I installed MRTG and got it working. Noticed that it seemed it was not polling on
its own. So I changed the cron job to make it poll more often and in fact its not
polling on its own.
Also noticed that I stopped receiving my Dailey, reports via email.. I'm also
trouble shooting a send mail

Part of your problem is going to be right here. comparing two lines,
you will notice the the 6th field is the user to

PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin ; export PATH
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
Will do it.

Good Morning!
I'm in the process of converting all of our servers from BSD/OS. One of
the things that I've always done is to copy all of the jobs from
`/etc/crontab' to root's crontab so that all of the system jobs are in
one place. FreeBSD's cron doesn't seem to like this, however. I'm seeing
401 - 500 of 602 matches
