Thanks to Meph and others who replied to my original question. I've looked
a little further and can give some more details, so I am going to send this
again. Does anyone know what DB2 refers to????? All I want to do is _get
rid_ of the following daily message:
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Anacron)
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Anacron job 'cron.daily'
DB2 problem...: Missing or empty key value specified
slocate: this is not a valid slocate database:
/var/lib/slocate/slocate.db
--------------------------
slocate.db is a list of *.dll (obviously Windows files) Why?????
Another file (/usr/bin/slocate.cron) is as follows:
"udf,nfs,smbfs,ncpfs,proc,devpts,iso9660,usvdevfs" -e
"/tmp,/var/tmp,/usr/tmp,/afs,/net"
--------------------------
The following files (/var/spool/cron/ directory) consist of numbers that
don't seem to follow the date and time format:
cron.daily -- 20010131
cron.weekly -- 20010127
cron.monthly -- 20010127
--------------------------
I have also found, via the kcron utility (/usr/bin/kcron), that I have no
crontab files for root, bin, daemon, adm, lp, sync, shutdown, halt, mail,
news, uucp, operator, games, named,sympa, gopher, ftp, nobody, xfs, htdig,
postfix, gdm, and my two non-root users. Kcron looks like the way to
make/edit these files after I find documentation.
--------------------------
/var/log/cron/info shows that my cron jobs are mostly logging the start/stop
of the process, updating the time-stamps, and the command: /sbin/rmmod -as.
--------------------------
At this point, I just want to get rid of the DB2 message! Thanks a lot ....
to anyone who can point to a solution.
