similar to: error in cron.daily email report

After update from CentOS 3.4 to 3.5 on 3 different boxes, I got the following message from each server ============================================ Subject: Cron <root at premiere> run-parts /etc/cron.daily > /etc/cron.daily/makewhatis.cron: > > > zcat: stdout: Broken pipe > > zcat: stdout: Broken pipe > > zcat: stdout: Broken pipe > > zcat: stdout:

Hi All, How does one create a cron job that runs commands like: /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=xxx.com -update /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=yyy.com -update Say every 15 mins? -Jason

Just looked at the log from the x86_64 machine and I see the same zcat: stdout: Broken pipe in the 00-makewhatis.cron job as on the x86 machine. Did I miss some thread about current updates somewhere? sam -- Sam W.Drinkard -- sam at wa4phy.net NOAA Cooperative Observer http://wa4phy.net Augusta Area Mesonet

Hello, I have 2 servers which share 2 partitions with drbd, on each machine runs one VM on the drbd device, so that I have primary/secondary and secondary/primary drbd devices. There are also some more XEN VM?s that only do aa mysql replication and one is standalone. In the last 4 weeks I had 2 incidents where both machines did a sudden reboot, first one machine and 2 minutes later the other one.

The rpm package used to provide /etc/cron.daily/rpm /etc/logrotate.d/rpm I see /usr/lib/rpm/rpm.log and rpm.daily, which looks like they're intended for that purpose. Anyone have any idea why they're not in cron.daily and logrotate.d? mark

It's configured in /etc/anacrontab and is usually run once a day by the script /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron - cron.hourly is still run by cron. If the script doesn't exist, then

Hello, my CentOS 6.2 server sends the daily messages correct e.g. today at Feb 1 03:31:14 At the beginning of work hours (9:00 am local time): Feb 1 10:06:17 server postfix/sendmail[27125]: fatal: chdir /var/spool/postfix: Permission denied Solution: restorecon -R /var/spool/postfix/ Afterwards, postfix is OK again. My own cron jobs will be run latest 1 am What daily cron job destroys

Hi, I just configured SquidAnalyzer, a nifty little network statistics tool that I'm using mainly in school networks to monitor network usage. I want to run the '/usr/bin/squid-analyzer' script once a day. I took a peek in /etc/cron.daily, and the package already installed an /etc/cron.daily/0squidanalyzer script. I wanted to know at what time CentOS ran the cron.daily scripts,

Sure, I can hack something around file timestamps or so but

Oops, yes CentOS 7, sorry. For the record: # service anacron

Hello there, I've just noticed that scripts in /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,...} are not launched for several weeks (I noticed a `locate` not finding a recently added binary). Exactly, it's since June 02, and `# service cron status` says: Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status crond.service * crond.service - Command Scheduler Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/crond.service; enabled;

Hi. I'm installed yum-cron and set: # by default MAILTO is unset, so crond mails the output by itself # example: MAILTO=root MAILTO="root at domain.org.ua" I see in log that yum-cron done it's job: # grep "yum" /var/log/cron Aug 11 03:08:02 venti run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[4516]: starting 0yum.cron Aug 11 03:49:30 venti run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[4761]: finished

Hi, Firstly a quick intro, I'm a web developer/linux admin who's trying to setup automated backups for a client. I really like the look of rsync and I know it'll do what I want if I can get it to ;) I've spent some time playing with rsync trying to get it to do what I want but I keep getting stumped. The situation is simple, webserver (master) with various files that need

We have some third party software running on a CentOS 4.5 virtual machine. The software is delivered as compiled python and I wrote an init script for it myself (/etc/init.d/gk). Because the software lacks the usual robustness of CentOS services, I have a bash script (/etc/cron.daily/gk-restart) which simply calls "/etc/init.d/gk restart". So, as expected, root gets an email every day

Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.32 Severity: wishlist /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd restarts syslogd at the end of the script. This causes a daily log message, currently missed by logcheck: Jan 14 06:55:22 pyloric syslogd 1.4.1#16: restart (remote reception).
