| Subject: (2.18) NOV problems on a Pyramid |
|---|
This applies only to Pyramid systems that run OSx. Newer systems run DC/OSx and/or Sinix 5.43 which are "normal" SysV that have normal cronjobs. Q: I just turned on the overview stuff and I don't think news.daily is properly expiring the .overview files. I'm using a Pyramid. A: Do you need quotes in your crontab entry? Look at your news.daily report -- expire using "expireover delayrm" should take a few minutes. If it takes longer than, say, 10-20 minutes, then the keywords aren't being seen by news.daily so perhaps the commandline quoting is wrong. i.e. you had: su news -c /usr/lib/news/bin/news.daily delayrm expireoverYou should have: su news -c "/usr/lib/news/bin/news.daily delayrm expireover"Without quoting, the options are thrown away and only the "news.daily" is executed. ------------------------------ [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/09/23 01:25:52 $ $Revision: 2.34 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.] |
