I have installed postfix. it is shown also as below. Oct 7 05:04:07 lvghomepc postfix: Starting postfix: Oct 7 05:04:10 lvghomepc postfix: succeeded Oct 7 05:04:10 lvghomepc postfix: ^[[65G[^[[1;32m Oct 7 05:04:10 lvghomepc postfix: Oct 7 05:04:10 lvghomepc rc: Starting postfix: succeeded Now error from anacron has gone. I feel this si because it can send output to root as in [EMAIL PROTECTED] security]# cat /etc/crontab SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/ # run-parts 01 * * * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 02 4 * * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.daily 22 4 * * 0 root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 42 4 1 * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.monthly but the cron.daily exit status shows error. Oct 7 05:09:24 lvghomepc anacron[1608]: Job `cron.daily' started Oct 7 05:09:24 lvghomepc anacron[1851]: Updated timestamp for job `cron.daily' to 2003-10-07 Oct 7 05:10:15 lvghomepc anacron[1608]: Job `cron.daily' terminated (exit status: 1) (mailing output) Oct 7 05:10:15 lvghomepc anacron[1608]: Normal exit (1 jobs run) But mail in root prompt shows no mail for root.
