Hi. I am running stable and just installed logcheck
I get this mail:
run-parts: component /etc/cron.d/logcheck is not an executable plain file
/etc/cron.d isn't called from run-parts. What is in your /etc/crontab?
in /etc/cron.d/ i have this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 147 Feb 21 2002 logcheck
run-parts executes the files in /etc/cron.daily, cron.weekly ... so the
files must have a x-bit.
the contents of file:
ken@pingu:/etc/cron.d$ cat logcheck
@reboot root test -x /usr/sbin/logcheck && nice -n10
/usr/sbin/logcheck
2 * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/logcheck && nice -n10
/usr/sbin/logcheck
ken@pingu:/etc/cron.d$
I am used to just installing a package and it works.
Can someone enlighten me in whats wrong?
Check your /etc/crontab if run-parts is invoked with /etc/cron.d/
