FYI - FreeBSD mnemom.sol.net 3.0-980331-SNAP FreeBSD 3.0-980331-SNAP #1: Tue Mar 31 06:29:11 CST 1998 root@mnemom.sol.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/SMP-MNEMOM i386 Dual P200 box with 512MB RAM mnemom# crontab -u news -l # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (/tmp/crontab.sOoyuey745 installed on Wed Apr 1 17:17:38 1998) # (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.11 1997/09/15 06:39:15 charnier Exp $) */2 * * * * dbin/dspoolout >> log/dspoolout.log 2>&1 */5 * * * * (cd adm; for i in quadhr.*; do ./$i; done) >>log/daily.log 2>&1 50 * * * * (cd adm; for i in hourly.*; do ./$i; done) >>log/daily.log 2>&1 40 2 * * * (cd adm; for i in daily.*; do ./$i; done) >>log/daily.log 2>&1 30 2 * * 1,4 (cd adm; for i in biweekly.*; do ./$i; done) >>log/daily.log 2>&1 I am getting really odd results. I have run cron in debug mode, and without looking at the code, it seems to me that it's miscalculating the "sleep" interval. >From "cron" debug output... user [root:0:0:...] cmd=" adjkerntz -a" user [root:0:0:...] cmd=" periodic monthly 2>&1 | sendmail root" user [root:0:0:...] cmd=" periodic weekly 2>&1 | sendmail root" user [root:0:0:...] cmd=" periodic daily 2>&1 | sendmail root" user [root:0:0:...] cmd="newsyslog" user [root:0:0:...] cmd="/usr/libexec/atrun" user [news:8:8:...] cmd="(cd adm; for i in biweekly.*; do ./$i; done) >>log/daily.log 2>&1" user [news:8:8:...] cmd="(cd adm; for i in daily.*; do ./$i; done) >>log/daily.log 2>&1" user [news:8:8:...] cmd="(cd adm; for i in hourly.*; do ./$i; done) >>log/daily.log 2>&1" user [news:8:8:...] cmd="(cd adm; for i in quadhr.*; do ./$i; done) >>log/daily.log 2>&1" user [news:8:8:...] cmd="dbin/dspoolout >> log/dspoolout.log 2>&1" [517] TargetTime=891474000, sec-to-wait=596 [517] sleeping for 596 seconds I'll probably haul out the sources later and try to figure out how it determines that sleeping-for value. It's clearly wrong. ...
