[Bug 520273] Re: cron doesn't send mail
I have found the problem. It is caused by ecryptfs the way it is implemented in Ubuntu. Here is the culprit (found by hours of removing files and directories and rebooting): I don't like my Private folder automounted. My solution, follow the recommendations to delete .ecryptfs/auto-mount. When this is done, ecrypt tries to automount, but throws an error: Aug 31 02:43:01 localhost CRON[8404]: Skipping automatic eCryptfs mount followed by this error: Aug 31 02:43:01 localhost CRON[8405]: (woodnt) CMD (echo "hello `date`") Now I feel stupid for spending hours at this when I should have just done a simple mv .ecryptfs .ecryptfs.bak first, instead of for every dir (after I found every .xxx regular file had nothing to do with it). I then also get the above cron process tree found by ps -auxf. When I isolated .ecrpytfs, then I noted I had deleted the auto-mount and touched it to put it back. Rebooted, and I get mail and I get NO defunct sh and get no build up of cron processes. This is a significant but, but not critical and likely affects very few people, but is hard to figure out when it does! Not sure how to move this thread over to ecryptfs-utils. Please advise, Narnie PS, it seems postfix is trying to send, but gets stuck (as noted above with the \_ /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -FCronDaemon -oem woodnt getting stuck, kind like it is waiting on stdin but who knows). -- cron doesn't send mail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520273 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Look in /var/log/mail.log for evidence of postfix trying to send the mail. -- cron doesn't send mail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520273 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 520273] Re: cron doesn't send mail
Since cron is clearly invoking sendmail and that invokes postfix, I'm guessing it goes missing inside postfix somewhere ** Package changed: cron (Ubuntu) => postfix (Ubuntu) -- cron doesn't send mail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520273 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
