Public bug reported: Binary package hint: anacron
I have a very simply tar command that runs at night as a non-root user. The script runs file when run manually, and used to run fine under Dapper. Since upgrading to Hardy, the script fails... only about 8k (out of a desired hundreds of megs) of the tar is written to disk. After reading http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=585505 I installed postfix and the job runs fine again. I guess cron needs some kind of mail agent installed? Perhaps this should be reflected in the .deb dependencies or cron be made more flexible. ** Affects: anacron (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- cron fails for non-root users if no mail program is installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244018 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
