I got cron working as a daemon, but now it stopped working again. I'm getting the following errors in the cronevents output. Anyone know what

I (jfong) owned the file.  Should (*system*) own the file?  Sorry, I
don't understand what it means when you say it is not a regular file?
What makes it Not Regular?

  Is it a symlink?


    cheers,

No, they are files not links


What does 'ls -l /etc/cron.d/cron.daily' say?
