Re: cron problem

Buster, Supermicro desktop

Cron jobs (some of them) don't show up in root's email.

I admin 2 domains -- one on Squeeze, one on Buster. My Squeeze cron results show up fine; Buster's don't. I've reinstalled the Buster jobs. I've copyNpasted them from the Squeeze crontab. Both logwatch results show up (part of /etc/crop.daily). It seems that that the jobs I enter manually don't show up. They didn't use to do that.


Here's my crontab on Buster:

root@sbox:~# cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.93Jh1O/crontab installed on Sun May 17 10:11:58 2020)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $)
5 1 * * * /bin/cat /proc/mdstat
10 1 * * * test -x /usr/sbin/apticron && /usr/sbin/apticron --cron #apticron

(The date is a few minutes ago because I removed a dup of logwatch.)


And on Squeeze:

root@rrserv:~# cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.bgZABv/crontab installed on Wed May 13 12:48:16 2020)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $)
2 1 * * * /bin/cat /proc/mdstat


Here's what happens if I manually run one of them (Buster):

root@sbox:# /bin/cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1] [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md0 : active raid1 sdc1[1] sda1[0]
       488253440 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]
       bitmap: 0/4 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk

unused devices: <none>


I have a feeling that I've done something trivially wrong. But I can't find it. Thoughts?
