cron return codes

Hello,

What does rc=3 mean? Where can I get the list of all cron return codes?

Thank you,
Elena.

Not your error code, but the following threads might help some:

cron simply states the return code of whatever program it ran. You'll need to check your script or whatever executable it is to see what that return code means to it.

Hi Elena,

The script or command that you cron'ed exited with a return code of 3--cron did not generate it. Consult the script or command documentation for its meaning.
