You want to run `mkreport.deb' at 1:00am, and if the timezone in your email header is correct, you appear to be 6 hours western of GMT. This means that it is 1:00am GMT when it is 7:00pm of your local time. Therefore, presumably something is wrong with your timezone configuration. - Is the environment variable `TZ' set? If so, to what? Is it already set when cron is started? - What's the content of /etc/timezone? - What does /etc/localtime (a symlink) point to? You might need to run `tzconfig'. Martin -- ,--.
