/etc/daily.cron/man broken by Debian 1.2?
Apparently the upgrade from Debian 1.1 to 1.2 broke a daily cron job
which cleans up old catman files. The script used to work without any
problem before the upgrade; now I get daily error messages to root.
It's a minor annoyance, but I haven't found out the reason for it
yet. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim
First, the script /etc/cron.daily/man:
#!/bin/sh
#
# $Id: cron.daily,v 1.4 1996/02/17 16:09:20 alvar Exp $
#
# expunge old catman pages which have not been read in a week
/usr/bin/nice find /var/catman -type f -name '*.gz' -atime +7 -print | xargs rm -f
# expunge old catman pages which are older than one month
/usr/bin/nice find /var/catman -type f -name '*.gz' -mtime +30 -print | xargs rm -f
exit 0
