I upgraded my machine today. After about a hour I had 22-25 mails nagging me that my different cron jobs telling me the same:
"command failed with exit status 1"
The error came from the following cron jobs:
/etc/cron.d/dma:
*/5 * * * * root [ -x /usr/sbin/dma ] && /usr/sbin/dma -q1
/etc/cron.d/php4:
09,39 * * * * root [ -d /var/lib/php4 ] && find /var/lib/php4/ -type
f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php4/maxlifetime) -print0 | xargs -r -0 rm
and a private cron job:
*/5 * * * * killall nspluginviewer > /dev/null 2>&1
If it is desired behavior that cron now sends out email if the job exit's with
status 1, it is strange that I now get a lot of mail from system cron jobs....
In my private cron job I'm killing the nspluginviewer every 5 minute. I'm
aware that the nspluginviewer probably are not running, but that is why I pipe
the error message to /dev/null..... I don't want to hear about it.
I thought that 2>&1 would send the ERROUT to the same place as STDOUT... Why
do cron catch these then?
I'm running 3.0pl1-110. Not sure what I had before the upgrade.
