[olug] cron

[mesc]

    I'm making headway with cron,I have it running but it's not  right
yet.I have updatedb set to run once a week yet  my HD light is  on
constantly so I checked ps aux and this was in there repeatedly..
root      1723  0.0  0.9  1276  616 ?        S    10:16   0:00 CROND
root      1726  0.6  1.2  1584  760 ?        S    10:16   0:00 sh
/usr/bin/updatedb
root      1733  2.0  0.7  1112  484 ?        D    10:16   0:00 slocate
-u -l 1 -d /var/lib/slocate/sloc
I don't even have slocate  in my cron :) This is my crontab
file                  Modified

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=mescie at home.com
HOME=/

# run-parts
/usr/local/etc/logcheck.sh
* 14 * * find / -name "core*" -exec ls\
-l {} \
#root /etc/cron.daily/logrotate
* * * * 0 /usr/bin/updatedb
#* * * * * root run-parts/etc/cron.monthly
# Mandrake-Security : if you remove this comment, remove the next line
too.
0 0 * * *    root    /etc/security/msec/cron-sh/security.sh

This is  the file generated  by crontab -e...

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.846 installed on Fri Jul 21 09:48:49 2000)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp
$)
* * * * * find / -name "core*" -exec ls -l {} \

* * * * * /usr/bin/updatedb

* * * * * /usr/local/etc/logcheck.sh
I know the timestamps is this file aren't right but that's the only way
I could get anything to run (yes I'm  trying anything....lol)


            Thank you,Gary Martin
