/bin/sh: root: command not found - grungy - 11-27-2007 09:31 PM

I am getting following mails from the Cron daemon:

Code:

Cron <root@ns3> root find /etc/ispcp/*/backup/* -maxdepth 0 -type f -mtime +7 -print | egrep '.*\.[0-9]+$' | xargs /bin/rm

/bin/sh: root: command not found

/bin/rm: missing operand

Try `/bin/rm --help' for more information.

I am using trunk-20071125

Hi grungy

could you post the line in /etc/cron.d/ispcp which matches the line above?
Should look like this

@daily root find /etc/ispcp/*/backup/* -maxdepth 0 -type f -mtime +7 -print | egrep '.*\.[0-9]+$' | xargs -r /bin/rm

the "-r" after xargs was added later - it prevents the second error message (rm: missing operand)

what OS do you use?

Code:

# Backup

@daily root /var/www/ispcp/engine/backup/ispcp-backup-all yes &>/var/log/ispcp/ispcp-backup-all-mngr.log

@daily root /var/www/ispcp/engine/backup/ispcp-backup-ispcp noreport &>/var/log/ispcp/ispcp-backup-all-mngr.log

# Remove config backups older than seven days

@daily root find /etc/ispcp/*/backup/* -maxdepth 0 -type f -mtime +7 -print | egrep '.*\.[0-9]+$' | xargs -r /bin/rm

# Remove Daemon Logs older than 14 days (except .gz files)

@daily root find /var/log/ispcp/* -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime +14 -print | egrep '.*\.gz$' | xargs -r /bin/rm

Code:

cat /etc/debian_version 

4.0

hm - looks fine.

and debian etch should know the interval "@daily" so I don't know why you got this error...

you could copy the line and set a fix time in front:

Code:

0 13 * * * root find /etc/ispcp/*/backup/* -maxdepth 0 -type f -mtime +7 -print | egrep '.*\.[0-9]+$' | xargs -r /bin/rm

to run the cronjob at 13 o'clock...
and then look in the log...
