I have set up /etc/syslog.conf to exclude logging cron messages but still seem to be getting them.
In syslogd I have tried the following:
*.*;cron.none /var/log/messages
*.info;cron.none /var/log/messages
*.*;cron.warn /var/log/messages
*.info;cron.warn /var/log/messages
Several variations thereof and other entirely different entries.
I am stopping the cron service, then the syslogd service and starting
them in the order syslogd, cron between changes.
The crontab simply has
* * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /date.log
What is getting logged is soemthing along the lines of this:
Mar 23 16:52:00 DOUG /USR/SBIN/CRON : PID 4844 : (doug) CMD
(/usr/bin/date >> /date.log)
I've had no luck filtering it out so far.
I have spent several days researching cron and syslogd (both for Cygwin
and Linux) on the net. While there's a lot of very useful information I
haven't been able to resolve this specific issue.
I have attached the standard cygcheck.out, in case that's of any use.
Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to make suggestions or give
advice.
Best regards,
Doug Irwin
