- Hello all,
- My machine has a crontab entry which, among other things, runs every morning
- at 5:00 am looking for old garbage to delete. It looks something like this:
-
- 0 5 * * * find / -local -type f '(' -name core -o
- -name dead.letter ')' -atime +7 -mtime +7 -exec rm -f '{}' ';'
-
- All on one line. This is the command as distributed by SGI, I've not changed
- it.
- When it runs (every day for the past couple of weeks) I get...
-
- find: stat() failed: /usr/catman/u_man/cat1/what.z: No such file or directory
- find: stat() failed: /usr/catman/u_man/cat1/whatis.z: No such file or directory
- find: stat() failed: /usr/catman/u_man/cat1/whereis.z: No such file or directory
- find: stat() failed: /usr/catman/u_man/cat1/which.z: No such file or directory
- find: stat() failed: /usr/catman/u_man/cat1/who.z: No such file or directory
- find: stat() failed: /usr/catman/u_man/cat1/whoami.z: No such file or directory
-
-
- This goes on for about 90 lines, all different files. Those files really are
- there. Why is the machine giving me this error? What does it mean? I fear
- that it means something somewhere has been corrupted.
-
- TIA, Bob
-
- P.S. This is a 4D/320VGX running Irix 4.0.4. The problem seemed to start about
- the time this machine was hit with some heavy duty hardware problems on the
- graphics and possibly the CPU boards.
