What happens if you give it the full path?
( /usr/sbin/tmpwatch instead of just tmpwatch )
Hi, furlan. Yes, that's what was needed. I had not understood that root
didn't have access to its path when running the command in a cron job. 'Run
now' worked, so hopefully, next time it runs as scheduled on Wednesday it
should run without problems.
I do like the cron emails. Such a comfort :-)
