Cron problems

2003-09-08 Thread Curtis Spencer
I put a small script into the cron.daily folder expecting it to run. It simply creates a file with the current timestamp as its name to see if successfully ran. However, I woke up this morning to not be greeted by this file, so I know cron didn't run it. I did check my root email to find the

Hard Drive Crash Recovery

2003-08-21 Thread Curtis Spencer
I had a hard drive crash last night on one of my systems. Fortunately only a near empty /home and the swap partition were on that drive so I did not lose too much data. However, I don't know how to go about remounting the /home directory and the swap partition. Is there any way to mount the /

ls color's messed up

2003-01-20 Thread Curtis Spencer
