I'm a little confused on how OpenPKG uses cron for its maintenance. On
my AIX/HP/Solaris machines I get this in root's crontab:
# <OpenPKG prefix=/syscfg/opkg pkg=openpkg>
# chronological tasks of /syscfg/opkg OpenPKG hierarchy
0 0 1 * * [ -f /syscfg/opkg/etc/rc ] && /syscfg/opkg/etc/rc
all monthly
0 0 * * 0 [ -f /syscfg/opkg/etc/rc ] && /syscfg/opkg/etc/rc
all weekly
0 0 * * * [ -f /syscfg/opkg/etc/rc ] && /syscfg/opkg/etc/rc
all daily
0 * * * * [ -f /syscfg/opkg/etc/rc ] && /syscfg/opkg/etc/rc
all hourly
0,15,30,45 * * * * [ -f /syscfg/opkg/etc/rc ] && /syscfg/opkg/etc/rc
all quarterly
# </OpenPKG>
However, on Linux (both SUSE and RHEL) I get nothing in cron nor in the
/etc/cron* directories. What's weird is that I get these messages on my
SUSE boxes, but not on my RHEL boxes (yes, I reinstalled to a different
location):
Mar 7 10:15:00 mig /USR/SBIN/CRON[2264]: (root) CMD ( [ -f
/syscfg/opkg/etc/rc ] && /syscfg/opkg/etc/rc all quarterly)
Mar 7 10:15:00 mig /USR/SBIN/CRON[2266]: (root) CMD ( [ -f
/opt/openpkg/etc/rc ] && /opt/openpkg/etc/rc all quarterly)
Mar 7 10:15:00 mig /USR/SBIN/CRON[2270]: (root) CMD ([ -f
/syscfg/opkg/etc/rc ] && /syscfg/opkg/etc/rc all quarterly)
How are these commands being called? I've searched and can't find
anything. Restarting cron or rebooting doesn't remove the old entries.
On RHEL I tried adding the above crontab entries but I'm getting no
messages.
