Can't tell much about fcron (esp. if its config syntax is similar to my vixie-cron), but for me, vixie-cron installed a /etc/crontab that contains the following lines: 0 * * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly 1 3 * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily 15 4 * * 6 root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.weekly 30 5 1 * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.monthly */10 * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons this does the job. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
