All, After the linux-firmware update I have started receiving strange cron messages: Cron <root@phoinix> run-parts /etc/cron.hourly run-parts: failed to exec /etc/cron.hourly/avantfax_hourly: Exec format error run-parts: /etc/cron.hourly/avantfax_hourly exited with return code 1 The cron job is: /etc/cron.hourly/avantfax_hourly # runs once an hour to update the phone book 0 * * * * /srv/http/avantfax/includes/phb.php Testing manually works fine: # ./phb.php # echo $? This started after the linux-firmware update: [2018-08-25 22:40] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Syu' [2018-08-25 22:40] [PACMAN] synchronizing package lists [2018-08-25 22:41] [PACMAN] starting full system upgrade [2018-08-25 22:41] [ALPM] transaction started [2018-08-25 22:41] [ALPM] upgraded linux-firmware (20180815.f1b95fe-1 -> 20180821.1d17c18-3) [2018-08-25 22:41] [ALPM] transaction completed [2018-08-25 22:41] [ALPM] running 'systemd-tmpfiles.hook'... [2018-08-25 22:41] [ALPM] running 'systemd-update.hook'... (I am 5 hours ahead of UTC - which corresponds to the time just before the cron messages started) I am scratching my head as how this can be related? Anybody else having this type issue after updates in the past 24 hours? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
