I have a bash script called update that does up2date followed by a shutdown. The intent is to be able to update the kernel in the middle of the night when there is no activity on this penguin (obviously RedHat) and the users won't be impacted.
#!/bin/bash up2date --update shutdown -r now If I do update from a terminal everything proceeds as expected but if I schedule update thru cron the up2date works but the shutdown never happens. Is there a restriction on the shutdown command? What might be the problem? I put the entry in root's crontab. -- Bill Dodge email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (703)627-2455 "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there."
