Has anyone, running etch or sid, noticed a problem with cron _not_ running jobs in /etc/crontab?
My mail was not being picked up and when I checked I found that cron had stopped running jobs in /etc/crontab. I had Upgraded on Aug 28 to icron_3.0pl1-95 and cron has not run since. cron_3.0pl1-94_i386.deb (runs but displays the minute error) cron_3.0pl1-95_i386.deb (does not run jobs in /etc/crontab) cron_3.0pl1-97_i386.deb (does not run jobs in /etc/crontab) I had noticed for months that an error message was showing up in syslog while running cron_3.0pl1-94. buddy cron[6507]: Error: bad minute; while reading /etc/crontab buddy last message repeated 10 times The only way to stop that message was to remove _all_ crontab entries, so I just ignored the message. Since reinstalling cron_3.0pl1-94 cron is now running correctly, except for that lame syslog message.
