Does
grep '/usr/sbin/cron.*run-crons' /var/log/messages
really shows that cron logs each start of run-crons?
Which SUSE version is this?
The run-crons script explicitly
sends information to the syslog daemon overriding the above setting, but
successful job reporting is controlled by the $SYSLOG_ON_NO_ERROR
variable.
This variable does not exist in 10.0, which Mohamed uses. There,
run-crons only logs errors (with logger).
It looks as
if the majority of the standard SuSE scripts explicitly log their status.
I have to admit that I don't understand that sentence. At my 10.0
installation, execution of the cron.daily scripts is _not_ logged.
All other cron jobs are logged by cron, and not by the scripts
themselves. Is this different in your SUSE installation?
