the construction above won't work every time on my K6-200 .... |
| 15 |
Once in two days it happens that the 'lock'-file is gone between the |
| 16 |
'test -f ....' and 'cronpid=.....' and I receive following error |
| 17 |
message: |
| 18 |
-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8< |
| 19 |
cat: /var/spool/cron/lastrun/lock: No such file or directory |
| 20 |
-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8< |

| 23 |
if I replace |
| 24 |
cronpid=`cat /var/spool/cron/lastrun/lock` |
| 25 |
with |
| 26 |
cronpid=`cat /var/spool/cron/lastrun/lock 2> /dev/null` |
| 27 |
it solves my problem |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
My question is, if there is a nicer way to fix that.... |
