[OpenIndiana-discuss] possible to modify the log file location for CRON?
Wondering if it is possible to change/configure the directory location for cron from the stock /var/cron/log location to somewhere else. Looking at the man page, All I really see as configurable is that logging can be turned off in the /etc/default/cron file. The PATH environmental variable can also be set here. I also ran strings across the 'cron' binary, in hopes of turning up something. If it is/was there, I missed it. Is it possible to configure the cron log file location using the 'as supplied' cron daemon that ships with OpenIndiana?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] debugging mouse freeze/lockup
Hello Tim, thanks for posting this. It doesn't happen frequently, but I have been fighting the same issue. Gigabyte MB, Sun/Oracle type 7 USB keyboard and Sun Crossbow USB 3 button mouse. Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 SE frame buffer. NVIDIA driver version 295.75. I will look specifically for your Xorg log error next time this happens to my desktop.

Just because you have a burly workstation does not mean that the OS does not try to power down devices similar to a laptop. Your mouse may still be being power managed and might not like being power managed. I had the same problem with a Windows 10 PC until I disabled power management. Check your /etc/power.conf file. I have this in my power.conf: device-thresholds /dev/usb/hid0 always-on device-thresholds /dev/usb/hid1 always-on device-thresholds /dev/usb/hid2 always-on device-thresholds /dev/usb/hid3 always-on Do something similar for your mouse device.
