So, I'm running cron in debug mode, and I do see things like this about my crontab.
load_entry()...returning successfully load_env, read <*/5 * * * * cacti /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/share/cacti/poller.php 1>/dev/null 2>&1> load_env, parse error, state = 7 but that parse_error line is the same for many links that do seem to be run properly. The symptoms I'm seeing is some cronjobs, specifically weekly ones, not running as expected. Plus, I used to get email from the nightly runs of periodic, and now I don't see anything. I know some jobs aren't running because they produce files as output and I'm not seeing them. That, or they're simply running unsuccessfully. One thing I noticed is that "man 5 crontab" seems to make no mention of the "user" field used in /etc/crontab, but that's likely just a documentation error. Has anyone ever configured cronjobs that just didn't run, or you didn't get mail for them like you should have? Thanks, Mike -- Michael P.
