Hi Johnathon,
Molly seems to have taken the update fine. The Prof. did report a problem
with a cron job that runs daily failing with the following errors:
To: llbjr@MIT.EDU
Subject: Couldn't run your "cron" job
Content-Type: text
can't stat home dir.
Commands will not be executed.
The error was "No such file or directory"
I've tried running the job manually and it ran OK and tested through cron
again too and it ran fine. Any idea why that might happen?
The crontab entry in question is:
00 8,14 * * * /var/usr/1.04/jdk1.1.5/bin/java -classpath
/var/usr/1.04/jdk1.1.5/bin:/var/usr/1.04/jdk1.1.5/lib/classes.zip
linkcheck /var/usr/1.04/jdk1.1.5/bin/wwwrec.txt 2>&1
