Hi All
I have identified the reason why crond does not startup on booting, once you
have implemented the recent fixes as follows;
RaQ3-All-Security-4.0.1-9648.pkg
RaQ3-All-Security-4.0.1-9713.pkg
RaQ3-All-System-4.0.1-9259.pkg
The reason is a corrupt script that removes most of the crond link entries
in the following directories;
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d
/etc/rc.d/rc1.d
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d
/etc/rc.d/rc4.d
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d
This can be fixed by re-linking the correct files with;
ln -s ../init.d/crond 'filename'
from with each directory, where the file name for each directory is as
follows;
rc0.d = K60crond
rc1.d = K60crond
rc2.d = S40crond
rc3.d = S40crond
rc4.d = S40crond
rc5.d = S40crond
As an example, you should finish up with this file in rc5.d when you do a
ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Mar 12 12:13 S40crond ->
../init.d/crond
Thank you ( yet again ) to Cobalt for bad, untested patch releases. God only
knows what other things this has messed up.
Enjoy
