Hello all, I noticed that *huge* crontab entries in /etc/crontab aren't run on my 3.4-STABLE (the same in 3.2-REL). E.g. ----- 1 0 * * 1 root /usr/local/sbin/logrotate ----- Will not be run. Logrotate does some really heavy httpd log checking and resolving - Like 1-2 hours job on a P3/500. Replacing /usr/local/sbin/logrotate with some neat little script seems to be run nicely. Also, 'touch /etc/crontab' doesn't help any. Running the script manually works fine. Is there something I'm missing here? Are there some kind of timeouts for crontab scripts? Any ideas? TIA, Pekka Savola pekkas@netcore.fi --- Across the nations the stories spread like spiderweb laid upon spiderweb, and men and women planned the future, believing they knew truth.
