suddenly I have been getting a lot of emails regarding cron errors. They just started out of the blue and I think its to do with permissions but not totally sure. Nothing has changed or been altered. It just started hapening. Here is what i get in 2 seperate Emails.

/usr/share/apache2/iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-1.7.0/tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py: 26: /usr/share/apache2/iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-1.7.0/tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py: import: not found
/usr/share/apache2/iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-1.7.0/tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py: 27: /usr/share/apache2/iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-1.7.0/tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py: import: not found
from: can't read /var/mail/ConfigParser
/usr/share/apache2/iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-1.7.0/tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py: 29: /usr/share/apache2/iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-1.7.0/tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py: import: not found
/usr/share/apache2/iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-1.7.0/tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py: 31: /usr/share/apache2/iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-1.7.0/tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py: os.environ[LC_ALL]: not found
/usr/share/apache2/iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-1.7.0/tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py: 33: /usr/share/apache2/iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-1.7.0/tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py: Syntax error: "(" unexpected


And then

bash: /var/backup/backup_mysql.sh: No such file or directory


The above file is clearly there as i can access it with root shell but it wont when not invoking root.

Looks like this Python script was executed as a shell script.

Please show us output of below command:

# crontab -l -u root

Re: Cron Errors

Ok I will change that what about the inability to find the backup script? It says it doesnt exist yet it is clearly there if I browse to it. I can execute i from shell but cron says it cant be found.

Re: Cron Errors

I guess you typed wrong path. it should be /var/vmail/backup/backup_mysql.sh, you missed 'vmail' in path.
