Hi,
I use cronie with Archlinux (it has replaced crond), where the maintainer has made
packages that provide "smtp-server" (i.e. `sendmail`) optional dependencies.
Whether or not this is appropriate, I posted the following bug with them
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29722, because of the entries that appear in the system
error log when sendmail is missing. I suggested a fix (completely untested and just a
rough pointer) which lowers the severity of these messages, but was also hoping to get
some information from you about the assumption of sendmail when using cronie.
Does cronie merely fail gracefully without sendmail, or is it truly optional? If it is
optional, would it be possible to lower the severity of the messages posted so they
don't appear to be errors?
Hello,
I was asked to apply patches, which make sendmail optional. I don't even
require sendmail in cronie package for Fedora. Cronie should be working
fine without it.
I can't find your logfile from cronie. In my case no error messages are
printed in log file. Could you send to me:
* version of cronie
* part of your logfile with error messages
* and optionally: which options are used with configure
Thanks,
Marcela
