My crontab looks like this:
Code:
# min hour date month dayofweek command
0 0 * * * emerge sync
And my log shows this:
Code:

The mail command *was* in there until I realized I forgot to setup postfix and took it out, which explains the mail output.
This is a gentoo server box and I wanted it to sync at midnight. But apparently didn't run because my other box syncs to this server, and the timestamps are still the same, which means it didn't sync. Help?
