Dear list,
after upgrading from 6.2R to 6.3R my daily jobs, which are normaly
executed from /etc/daily.local, are not longer started.
The entry in daily.local is
$HOME/bin/save-conf.sh
6.2R executed /root/bin/save-conf.sh
6.3R (and 7.0R) tries to start /var/log/bin/save-conf.bin
Why? I cannot find such a homedir in /etc/passwd!
Regards,
Thomas.
I'm sorry, I do not know why $HOME is resolved to /var/log/.
Is /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/ not the place to put your daily
executable scripts? What is daily.local about? I have searched the net
myself and seems that daily.local is something out of an old box. It
should be superseded by /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/
Do you have a script like /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/999.local Or is
there another place where the script daily.local will be launched. I
assume that daily.local is a script? Maybe there $HOME is set?
my consideration was:
gromit:/ # grep daily.local /etc/defaults/periodic.conf
daily_local="/etc/daily.local" # Local scripts
gromit:/ # uname -r
7.0-RELEASE
I' checked an older 5.5R an found in /etc/crontab an entry
HOME=/var/log - but in this release it has no effect ?!
Best regards,
Thomas.
