Hi All,

 

I am really struggling with this.  I have been playing and playing. I
now get no errors with cron_diagnose.sh, but I don't see any events in
cronevents (at least not lately) There were some with earlier attempts
on 8/30. I can see cron running when I do ps -e, but I edit my crontab
to perform a touch and it never hasn't. As I said I get no events in
cronevents, not even a start up message, I no longer see the edit events
when I edit crontab. I get nothing.

******************

cronbug.txt shows that cron is running (launched today) but indeed there are no
recent events in the Windows log. Did you by any chance install syslog at some point?
Does /dev/log exist?

/var/log/cron.log is not empty (unusual). What does it contain? 

cronbug.txt shows the following cron event:
2007/08/30 14:01:01 [builder]  (builder) WRONG FILE OWNER (tabs/builder)
However that's probably fixed now
-rw-r----- 1 builder Administrators 395 Aug 31 10:38 /var/cron/tabs/builder

 The MAILTO=cronrun.log has no effect because it does not start with /
Was there any info in ~/cron.log or in /tmp/cronXXX files ?

Pierre
