Post by: garyd on August 03, 2005, 11:15:51 PM

After install this excellent Mail::Toaster, I have hd errors running periodic. This happens on 2 fresh FreeBSD 5.4 machines. Any ideas? Below is an excerpt of the message.

Oh, yes. The following files do exist

/etc/defaults/periodic.conf
/etc/periodic.conf

Check your /etc/periodic.conf

comment out the first and last line (you'll know when you look in the file Smile

Thanks. Someone else also asked so being more explicit.

Just take an actual look at /etc/periodic.conf. You will notice that the first and last lines need to be either deleted or commented out.

--periodic.conf--
...

CHANGE TO

#--periodic.conf--
