i've got a number of jobs in /etc/cron.daily some of which su to a specific user to run a command/script. i've noticed that since upgrading from fc16 to fc17 (was actually a fresh install) that every job that does an su causes anacron or run-parts to throw a :
...killed.
message. this doesn't happen for jobs that don't do an su, isn't coming from the jobs themselves as i redirect the stdout and stderr to log files, and didn't happen under fc16. this is what i get mailed as output :
/etc/cron.daily/backup_databases:
...killed.
/etc/cron.daily/backup_cal:
...killed.
/etc/cron.daily/backup_contacts:
...killed.
/etc/cron.daily/backup_mail:
...killed.
i've tried reproducing the output manually but to no avail and yet this occurs for every schedule. can anyone suggest how i can determine what is causing this and why ? cheers.
