Dear All,
Currently i am using CentOS 4.4 Linux I have configured crontab to run cron.daily at 4:02 am 2 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
On 4:02 am my pc is shutdown and i am boot-up my pc on 13:11:10 Please verify the system log messages from "/var/log/messages" file Jul 30 13:11:10 localhost syslogd 1.4.1: restart (remote reception). Jul 30 13:11:10 localhost snmpd[2663]: Received TERM or STOP signal... shutting down... Jul 30 13:11:11 localhost snmpd: snmpd shutdown succeeded Jul 30 13:11:11 localhost snmpd: snmpd startup succeeded Jul 30 13:11:12 localhost syslogd 1.4.1: restart (remote reception). Jul 30 13:11:12 localhost logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1]
But Logrotate will be done after PC is boot-up
Please verify the logrotate messages from "/var/spool/mail/root" file From root@localhost Wed Jul 30 13:15:07 2008 Return-Path: root@localhost Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by localhost (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id m6U7j7ll012654 for root@localhost; Wed, 30 Jul 2008 13:15:07 +0530 Received: (from root@localhost) by localhost (8.13.1/8.13.1/Submit) id m6U7j7xn012641 for root; Wed, 30 Jul 2008 13:15:07 +0530 Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2008 13:15:07 +0530 Message-Id: 200807300745.m6U7j7xn012641@localhost From: root@localhost (Anacron) To: root@localhost Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ANSI_X3.4-1968" Subject: Anacron job 'cron.daily' /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
