Strange Cron Issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'm running FC2, and I'm having some strange issues with cron.  I updated
a fairly large number of package via up2date in mid-July, and for some
reason cron appears to no longer be functioning properly.  i.e. it's not
executing anything.  The logs are telling me "getfilecron FAILED"--see
below.

I do have what appears to be a properly formatted /etc/crontab, and I've
verified I can manually execute "run-parts cron.hourly" and such.  But
cron won't run them, and I'm out of ideas.

Any help greatly appreciated.  Some hopefully relevant detail follows.

I've verified crond is in fact running:
[root@home root]# service crond status
crond (pid 5526) is running...

Relevant installed rpm's are:
anacron-2.3-30
crontabs-1.10-6
vixie-cron-3.0.1-87

The end of the current /var/log/cron looks like this:
Aug 18 22:40:14 localhost crond[5502]: (CRON) STARTUP (fork ok)
Aug 18 22:40:14 localhost crond[5503]: (system_u) getfilecon FAILED
(/etc/crontab)
Aug 18 22:43:00 localhost crond[5503]: (system_u) getfilecon FAILED
(/etc/crontab)
Aug 18 22:43:11 localhost crond[5525]: (CRON) STARTUP (fork ok)
Aug 18 22:43:11 localhost crond[5526]: (system_u) getfilecon FAILED
(/etc/crontab)
Followed by nothing for the last 2 days (2 start statements because I
restarted cron hoping to see something useful in the logs...)

Mike
