Rather than symlinking and not getting the config changes (e.g. $HOST, $EMAIL) why not just do the following:
cd /etc/cron.d/update-motd.d/ mv ../cron.daily/mythtv-status . This way you'd get it to source the config, i.e. it does this . /etc/default/mythtv-status Or rather you would if this method of mine worked, but it doesn't. :( Oh well, shame, cos I'd like the email and host config to be used. Should I just hard code these into /usr/bin/mythtv-status? -- cronjob for mythtv-status send's me many mails after upgrade to jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379500 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
