- I successfully upgraded to Coherent 4.0.1!!
-
- Now I would like to convert my old /usr/lib/crontab to use the new
- /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/.., but whenever I move the items for root
- uucp to execute from the old /usr/lib/crontab to the new directory,
- they stop working.
-
- This has gotten to be a pain since I have upgraded GNEWS and compiled
- it under 4.0.1 to be 386 executables, so the old 'besomeone' of 286
- vintage does not exist in the new crontab structure.
-
- Here is my old /usr/bin/crontab:
- # /usr/lib/crontab 10/23/90
-
- # Execute atrun every five minutes.
- 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/lib/atrun
-
- # Clean uucp logs at 0001 every day.
- 01 00 * * * su uucp sh /usr/lib/uucp/uumvlog 1
- 05 00 * * * su uucp sh /usr/lib/uucp/uutraffic
-
- # Run gnewrrun, Clean up GNEWS logs and kill stuff over 10 days old
- 08 00 * * * besomeone 'root' 'gnewslog'
- 10 00 * * * besomeone 'root' 'gnewsexp 10'
- 15 4,5,6,7,8,10,11,12,14,16,18,20,22 * * * besomeone 'root' 'gnewsrun'
-
- # monitor /usr/spool/uucp for outgoing stuff and transmit
- 24,54 * * * * su uucp sh /usr/bin/uumonitor
-
- # Conditionally poll sites
- 19 1 * * 3 su uucp /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -smwcbbs
- 40 1 * * 3 su uucp /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -santares
- 30 2 * * 3 su uucp uucp mwcbbs!/usr/spool/uucppublic/mwcnews/news ~/
-
- My /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/root should look like this:
- ---------------
- # /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/root 8/22/92
-
- # Execute atrun every five minutes.
- 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/lib/atrun
-
- # Run gnewrrun, Clean up GNEWS logs and kill stuff over 10 days old
- 08 00 * * * gnewslog
- 10 00 * * * gnewsexp 10
- 15 4,5,6,7,8,10,11,12,14,16,18,20,22 * * * gnewsrun
- -------------
-
- And my /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp should look like this:
-
- ---------------------
- #/usr/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp 8/22/92
-
- # Clean uucp logs at 0001 every day.
- 01 00 * * * /usr/lib/uucp/uumvlog 1
- 05 00 * * * /usr/lib/uucp/uutraffic
-
- # monitor /usr/spool/uucp for outgoing stuff and transmit
- 24,54 * * * * /usr/bin/uumonitor
-
- # Conditionally poll sites
- 19 1 * * 3 /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -smwcbbs
- 40 1 * * 3 /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -santares
- 30 2 * * 3 uucp mwcbbs!/usr/spool/uucppublic/mwcnews/news ~/
- -------------------------
-
- I deleted the old /usr/lib/crontab and used the new ones and nothing
- is working???????
-
- Any suggestions on how to get this to work???
-
- GNEWSRUN, GNEWSEXP and GNEWSLOG all are now compiled to be 386
- executables, and all run from the root command line and work fine
- (and fast), but I am back to running the 286 versions until all of
- this stuff is cleared up.
-
- As an FYI, TASS for GNEWS is also recompiled and working well under
- 386. I have not gotten all of the bugs out of COMB yet under 386
- mode.
-
- Thanks,
