Dear List, I'm using F-Prot antivirus on my Woody 3.0r2 box to scan incoming and outgoing e-mail using amavis. F-Prot has been installed using f-prot-installer from sid. The installation went fine and F-Prot works like a charm. I'd like to update my virus-definitions twice a day, and I'd like to check for a new F-Prot version once a week. For this, I use a cron script, pasted below: ------------------------------------------------------------------ P1:~# cat /etc/cron.d/f-prot-installer # (c) FRISK Software International # author: Svavar Ingi Hermannsson 2002 - 2003 # # http://www.f-prot.com/ # # If you want to run this script in a cronjob, then you # should put a cron entry into your crontab similar to # the following example. Here's an example of a crontab # entry which runs check-updates twice a day: 04:27 and # 16:27. # # m h dom mon dow user command 27 4,16 * * * root /usr/lib/f-prot/tools/check-updates -cron -quiet # # (consult your crontab manual page, this format may differ between # versions) P1:~# ------------------------------------------------------------------ Unfortunately, this doesn't work, I get an e-mail twice a day with the following subject: "Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> root if [ -x /usr/lib/f-prot/tools/check-updates ]; then /usr/lib/f-prot/tools/check-updates -cron -quiet; fi" (one line, without the quotation marks) And with the following message body: /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `then' /bin/sh: -c: line 1: `root if [ -x /usr/lib/f-prot/tools/check-updates ]; then /usr/lib/f-prot/tools/check-updates -cron -quiet; fi' (two lines, both starting with "/bin/sh: -c: line 1: ") This problems exists for almost a year. Now I'd like to solve it. I don't know where the 'if' statement in the cron error message comes from. I already tried purging F-Prot, removing the cron script, rewrite the cron script, etc. I don't know what I should do next. Thanks in advance for any suggestion and/or a possible solution.
