Your addition is not POSIX (the "-o" in the test should be two tests combined with "||" instead), but that's not the real problem. The real problem is that as currently packaged, awstats do not work with apache 2.x out of the box. Your tweak is fine for local use, but does not make the package work with Apache 2.x. So if included your proposed patch, there'll soon be another bugreport that the apache2 logfile is not set in the default awstats config... The cron file is a conffile. That means you can edit it and the package must respect your changes. - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nÃr: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCTCmUn7DbMsAkQLgRArIQAJ0ZJcxPYGlWek3uWGu0U5ALwUr66gCgl52s qf3GGBrLGaZxg5+wuGDu0b8= =CYQs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
