cron errors : dcron / vixie-cron environment [Solved]

[petrasl]

hi,

I have this log in /var/log/cron.log

Latest stable vixie-cron is 4.1-r10, and I just grepped the source for "parsing". This error message is not there. Are you absolutely sure you restarted the cron service after 20-Jan-10 15:11? And that you only have one cron running? Check "ps -A | grep cron". (Edit: I believe the dcron binary is called "crond", while vixie's is only called "cron")

If you are certain, this message must be printed by one of vixie-cron's libraries. What does your crontab look like?

Also, with the gentoo default system logger setup, vixie-cron messages aren't logged to /var/log/cron.log, but to /var/log/messages. Make sure you're not looking at an old log.

Thanks for replay.

While emerging vixie-cron I had to unmerge dcron ; I also modified the rc-update but I forgat the old process of dcron which was still running.

I killed it and starting vixie-cron.

Can I delete the old /vat/log/cron.log ?

Thanks.
