Does anyone know how to make it run on Redhat LINUX
system?

which file control Time ZOne setup?

Thanks.


Is'nt it normal that the cronjobs won't execute? After
all, the time interval is missing.

The cron log:

Mar 26 01:55:01 yui crond[29681]
Mar 26 01:59:01 yui crond[30949]
Mar 26 01:59:01 yui crond[30950]
Mar 26 03:00:01 yui crond[31249] <-- works
Mar 26 03:00:01 yui crond[31254]
Mar 26 03:00:01 yui crond[31255]

Using anacron would probabyl fix this.

This old message may help more. I had some problems with timezoning
in RH ES 4.0, and:

There is a new file "/etc/timezone" which contains the name
of the timezone selected during install ("Europe/Luxembourg")

The file that has been traditionally there "/etc/localtime",
which should contain a copy of the TimeZone structure dump
in /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Luxembourg, was missing.

I copied /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Luxembourg into /etc/localtime
and all was well.
