I am running a script via cron on a Solaris 9 box, and I am getting the
following error mailed to root after it has run:
Your "cron" job on servername
/path/to/script
ipcrm: msqid(0): not found
usage: ipcrm [ [-q msqid] [-m shmid] [-s semid]
[-Q msgkey] [-M shmkey] [-S semkey] ... ]
The error repeats this message four times. The script basically halts a
database server, tars a certain directory, starts the database server
and then zips the tarball. When I run this script manually it doesn't
give any errors at all, and I have other tasks set up in this users
crontab which do not give any such error. The crontab does not belong to
root, but a seperate user which does not have any extra privileges.
Does anybody have any idea what could be causing this? The actually
script seems to run fine, I could redirect STDERR to /dev/null in the
crontab line for this job, but I just need to know if I should really be
doing something about this? Should I be worried?
Many Thanks, Stephen
