No, -L only affects logging of jobs. The ORPHAN messages come from the parsing part of the code, and always appear irregardless of any value. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/756574 Title: cron forgets to run user jobs -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Also note that ORPHAN may not show up until you edit /etc/init/cron.conf to start cron -L2... the Upstart conversion is incomplete and causes the cron service to ignore /etc/default/cron. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/756574 Title: cron forgets to run user jobs -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 756574] Re: cron forgets to run user jobs
Is it possible that these cron jobs worked correctly up until the system was rebooted, but then did not start up again after a reboot? Are the user in question defined in /etc/passwd (as opposed to via LDAP or something like that)? Do you see any "ORPHAN (no passwd entry)" messages in /var/log/syslog when cron is starting up?

Well, the only thing I can think of that would match this scenario is if
you were using NIS+ or some other directory service and there was a
lookup problem (eg: connection down), but errors of that kind are logged
("ORPHAN")...

With "root" crontabs (as opposed to "non-root"), do you mean the system crontabs /etc/crontab and /etc/cron.d, or root's actual crontab (via crontab -e as root)?
