I created a cron job: */5 * * * * touch /tmp/cron-test; echo "cron test: " `date` I stopped cron, deleted /var/log/cron*, created an empty /var/log/cron and restarted it Every 5 minutes, the timestamp on /tmp/cron-test is updated, BUT (1) I don't get any email from cron with the stuff echoed and (2) nothing is going into /var/log/cron. The file has not been touched. So it appears that (1) cron jobs are running, but cron is no longer logging the fact and (2) output from jobs the are supposed to produce output is being lost. -- -- Steve -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
