Attached below is version 1.8 of this diagnostic script. Thanks to Pierre A. Humblet for additional tests that check to see that the /etc/group and /etc/passwd files have valid entries for 'SYSTEM' and 'Administrators.'
(Please send any replies to the mailing list, and NOT to me. Please do NOT include my email address in any replies sent to the mailing list.) ------------------------------------------- cron_diagnose.sh will attempt to diagnose problems with cron. It will not modify any files on your computer. You might need to run the script several times. Each time that it finds a problem, it stops and displays a descriptive message. Please read the messages that the script generates, especially if it reports no errors, but you still cannot get cron to work for you. These messages should help you to report problems that occur in setting up cron, and possibly reduce the number of messages about cron that need to be sent to the mailing list. Please report the version number that this script reports so that improvements can be made to it. --------------------------------------------
