Gilbert,
I'm getting this message emailed to me from my root account on every machine I have LDM 6.8.0 on. Running the ldmadmin newlog command manually yields no issues.******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: sebenste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ***web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu *********************************************************************************---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2009 01:04:01 -0500 (CDT) From: Cron Daemon <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Cron <ldm@XXXXXXXX> /home/ldm/bin/ldmadmin newlog Couldn't invoke the ntpdate(1) utility, "ntpdate": No such file or directory. Set the value of the variable "$ntpdate" in the configuration-file, /home/ldm/etc/ldmadmin-pl.conf, to the pathname of the ntpdate(1) utility. You should either fix the problem (recommended) or disable time-checking by setting the variable "$check_time" to 0 in the configuration-file, /home/ldm/etc/ldmadmin-pl.conf, (not recommended).
The ldmadmin(1) script can't find the ntpdate(1) utility --- probably because "/usr/sbin" isn't in the PATH environment variable when ldmadmin(1) is run by cron(8). I suspect that the LDM user sets the PATH environment variable in their ".bash_profile" or ".login" profile-file rather than in their ".bashrc" or ".cshrc" profile-file, which is why it works manually but not when executed by cron(8). Move the setting of PATH and things should work.
Alternatively, set the variable $ntpdate in the ldmadmin(1) configuration-file (etc/ldmadmin-pl.conf) to the absolute pathname of the utility.
