All my cron entries does not execute, can anyone help me getting this thign to work???

I edit the /etc/rc2.d/S38cron script
and added " -x all" to the cron command

All I am getting is this, sure mail doesnt work, but that is not my concern. It seems cron picks up the jobs, but does nothing with them.

I even wrote a smaal script, all it does is do a " ls" on a directory and send the output to a file.

There is nothing going into the file.

SFU ver 3.

The warning about missing /etc/mail/aliases.db can be easily solved by running the newaliases(1) program as administrator.

The " secret" with running with getting the cron jobs to run is using the regpwd(1) utility. This will register the password for a specific user so that cron can run the jobs as that user. See the regpwd man page for more information.

" crontab" will point this out to you, if you haven' t registered your passwd. :) friendly crontab.

it is mentioned in the crontab manpage, specifically the " -p" option.
