next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Hello, Recently, the daily/weekly/monthly periodic emails have stopped coming from one of my servers. There were no changes made of the system, except that part of the filesystem was exported as an NFS share. These shares are setup on another FreeBSD machine for automount. I have checked my /etc and /var/logs and cannot find any reason for the mails to have stopped. Any help and guidance will be greatly appreciated. Here are some of the relevant files: /etc/crontab ========= # /etc/crontab - root's crontab for FreeBSD # # $FreeBSD: src/etc/crontab,v 1.32 2002/11/22 16:13:39 tom Exp $ # SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin HOME=/var/log # #minute hour mday month wday who command # */5 * * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun # # Save some entropy so that /dev/random can re-seed on boot. */11 * * * * operator /usr/libexec/save-entropy # # Rotate log files every hour, if necessary. 0 * * * * root newsyslog # # Perform daily/weekly/monthly maintenance. 1 3 * * * root periodic daily 15 4 * * 6 root periodic weekly 30 5 1 * * root periodic monthly # # Adjust the time zone if the CMOS clock keeps local time, as opposed to # UTC time.
