Synopsis: Weekly cron generates some usage and error messages FDIV021 State-Changed-From-To: feedback-analyzed State-Changed-By: gpalmer State-Changed-When: Tue Apr 30 12:55:10 PDT 1996 State-Changed-Why: Whoops, wrong state last time. Sorry. There are 2 issues here. First, syslogd wasn't running. so when an attempt was made to send a signal to it, it couldn't find the PID file, producing the first 2 lines of error messages. Why syslogd died is not clear, and may not be an issue with more recent systems which are more stable. The second probably is a bug in makewhatis, in your case it seemed to think that it needed a /usr/X11R6/man. Can you still reproduce the problem on any more recent versions of FreeBSD?
