They're versatile tools but they are not designed like servers. If you use anacron, have a look at the small "howto" that pkg_add delivers after installing anacron. You can always look at it again by typing "pkg_info -M anacron". I would even recommend changing the "well known aliases" in /etc/mail aliases" so that your user get's the output of the daily, weekly and monthly scripts. This ist taken from "man afterboot": Mail aliases Edit /etc/mail/aliases and set the three standard aliases to go to either a mailing list, or the system administrator. # Well-known aliases -- these should be filled in! root: sysadm manager: root dumper: root Run newaliases(8) after changes. I wouldn't recommend using "root: sysadmin" but "root: <your username>". This way you will get the information to your user, after the anacron-job has finished (just type "mail" at the prompt, about ten minutes after the first boot of the day). And one last important hint: As it is explained above, you will have to run "newaliases" after you've edited the /etc/mail/aliases. As root just type newaliases at the prompt and click the return-button. _______________________________________________________________________ Jetzt neu!
