cron failing to execute

[Jeroen Peereboom]

Ravi,

change your script to do an echo 'cleartool job started at' `date` >> /tmp/cleartool.logfile.
And also just the same echo without redirection. You should receive a mail containing this echo-output.

Or add a 'set -xv' command at the beginning of your script to see the execution of the script. Should also go to your mailbox.

Hi,

The mail shows these error(s):

subject: Anacron job 'cron.daily'

/etc/cron.daily/00webalizer:

warning: Truncating oversized date field
warning: Truncating oversized date field
warning: Truncating oversized date field
warning: Truncating oversized date field.....

Concerning environment, there should be missing locales (importants in dates display). Try to see what variables are set in your shell and try to set them in your program.

Just to know : Do you really want to use anacron and not cron ?

Regards,

Fred

Fred

I would like to use cron not the anacron

[Fred Ruffet]

just stop anacron, start cron :
service stop anacron
service start crond

before next reboot, use "setup" utility, disable anacron and enable cron

Regards,

Fred
