Hi all,


I've got a strange issue with cron. I try to run a simple script that
calls tar to backup my wiki. I can run the script using sudo, it runs
fine from an entry in cron.d but refuses to run after being dropped
into cron.daily. It's owned by root:root and chmodded 755 just like
the other entries in cron.daily. Anyone got some insight on what
might be causing this strange behavior?


Thanks,

Peter

Check the run-parts man page to make sure the filename is ok.

appear to have been received.

You mean the "USP drive performance" e-mail?

If you are refereing to the "USP drive" email that Greg mentioned,
then your mail is getting through. The problem is that you are
hijacking threads. That means you are responding to an existing thread
with a non-relevant question. This is severely frowned on as it breaks
up the continuity of the existing thread but also causes your post to
get lost to others who are not watching the thread you hijacked. This
"USP drive" email is a great example. It was buried deep in another
thread. I actually saw that subject header, but was not participating
in that particular thread and just marked the whole thread as read and
never looked at your mail.

To get a response around here, you should start your own thread by
sending a new email to debian-user@lists.debian.org. Use a meaningful
subject and please ask intelligent questions
(http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html).

:-). I must have been blind - or getting used to this
new mailer. I think that question has been answered...

Andrew: I fully understand your concerns, and I'm well aware of the
protocol and the reasons for it. I've recently switched from mutt to
kmail and the change probably contributed to the error.

Please accept my apologies. And thanks for being so cordial in addressing
my mistakes and explaining so well.

regards
tim
