Recently, around October 23rd, I've noticed that my cron.daily stuff isn't |
| 2 |
running. I've tried to 'restart' vixiecron and it complains that it's |
| 3 |
already started (duh). So I'll killall cron, rm the pid, etc. and then start |
| 4 |
it again and it works for a while then dies again. I made a simple script |
| 5 |
that emails me and put it in cron.hourly... Sure enough after a while it |
| 6 |
just stops working. WTF. |

I haven't updated vixiecron in a very long time... |

The cron man page states: |
| 82 |
"In this version of cron, /etc/crontab must not be readable or writable |
| 83 |
by any user other than root. In other words, it should be mode 0600." |
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
# ll /etc/crontab |
| 86 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2477 Aug 11 06:22 /etc/crontab |
| 87 |
# chmod 600 /etc/crontab |
| 88 |
# ll /etc/crontab |
| 89 |
-rw------- 1 root root 2477 Aug 11 06:22 /etc/crontab |
| 90 |
# /etc/init.d/vixie-cron restart |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
But I don't think that will slove it, as the date of the file his Aug |
| 93 |
11th... So that means it was running fine for several months with the wrong |
| 94 |
perms... |
