Hi I wonder if someone can give me a pointer to fixing this problem. I'm running 2.1.0: I have a cron job that runs nightly to mirror a satellite image (if it exists). Once it has be w3mir (Web mirror perl script) some processing in done to the image to rename it to the image date etc... A perl script then moves the image and writes a "at job file which is the set to run 8 days latter. Here is the problem, the script exits with the error: Apr 28 04:35:00 emma atrun[29155]: Userid 107 mismatch name root - abortin g job c00d33f57.00 I've tried to make the cron script setuid but this doesn't work! HELP! Thanks Shaun Courtney P.S. Here is the cron script: #!/bin/sh DATE=`date '+%d%m%y'` echo "Started script at $DATE" cd /usr/home/vanballe/bin/w3mir echo "Grabbing lastest image..." ./w3mir http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/avhrr-images/agulhasgac/latest-1.gif echo "Grabbing text page..." lynx -dump http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/htbin/imagery/m:agulhasgac-0 > $DATE .html ./noaa.pl < $DATE.html rm $DATE.html at -f atjob now + 8 days #rm atjob echo "Removed temporary files and set at job." echo "Fin." --------------------------snip snip----------------------- Here is the atjob file: rm -rf /home/vanballe/webdocs/25April1996.gif -- Oceanography Department, University of Cape Town, South Africa <URL:http://www.sea.uct.ac.za:80/index.html>; Finger for PGP key Powered by FreeBSD "Whatever the missing mass of the universe is, I hope it's not cockroaches!" -- Mom
