That helps! Cron is having trouble. I've set up a personal cron to run every minute. It runs a script which decides which other things need to be run. It in turn depends on /etc/profile being right, and I haven't fixed that from the default Ubuntu provides. I will fix that now. Thank you. > Also look in /etc/nullmailer/remotes to see where it wants to send mail. > Chances are the host is either wrong or non-existent. > > -ajb It says "mail." Seems pretty useless. And there is no man page or info page for nullmailer. I think software without a man page should be banned from the distribution. But maybe that's just me. Scanning the net it sounds like nullmailer is for systems which always can talk to a smart mail server. I don't that applies here. OTOH I'm not sure I want the system to be doing anything with mail. So perhaps the answer is simply to remove nullmailer from the system. Of course that would mean I wouldn't get debug info from cron. -- Allen Brown http://brown.armoredpenguin.com/~abrown/ A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on. --- Goldwyn _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list euglug@euglug.org http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
