Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cron
I have a bash script checking for new versions of Vim (in Bram Moolenaar's Mercurial repository) that's run by cron. The script saves its output into a log file and, if there is something interesting to say, at the and does 'cat $LOG_FILE'. The problem is that when run by cron on my newly installed Ubuntu 10.04.2 I don't get the output in mail but only 'expr: syntax error' line instead. Obviously I thought there was some error in the script at first, but after trying and checking I've found none. Besides, the script runs OK from command line and the same script runs OK from cron on Ubuntu 8.04. And I've also found (via checking the script's log whilst it was running) that it actually runs OK even here on Ubuntu 10.04.2, only I don't get the output. Therefore I'm not even sure whether this bug belongs to Cron or Postfix. I've also tried to run by cron different parts of the script separately, they worked OK and output in mail was OK too. I think this might perhaps be related with this discussion I've googled: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45202 Thx. ** Affects: cron (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/790173 Title: Cron doesn't send output properly -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
