Hi All,
I received this email today:

From: root@mydomain.com (Cron Daemon)
To: root@mydomain.com
Subject: Cron run-parts /etc/cron.weekly

etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis.cron:


zcat: stdout: Broken pipe


zcat: stdout: Broken pipe


zcat: stdout: Broken pipe


zcat: stdout: Broken pipe


zcat: stdout: Broken pipe


zcat: stdout: Broken pipe


zcat: stdout: Broken pipe

This was repeated quite a few times, can some one tell me what it means and what as happened.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Del

Hi All,
I have just realized that I have only received 1 email since this one, could this be related? I have checked the pop account using my ISP's webmail and there are emails there but sme doesn't seem to be checking or collecting them. I am running SME5.6, my email settings are set to multipop and to check every 15 minutes. I have tried rebooting but no luck. I also have Stephen Noble's multipop add on installed and this collects from another pop account (I don't have any mail there so I can't be sure if this is working) The server as been running with these settings since May of this year.
Regards,
Del

Hi Boris,
I did a search but the results seemed to show that my message was a bug in 4.1.1 and was fixed in v5.0! However I have followed the bug fix and did the following:
rpm -e man
rm -rf /var/cache/man /var/catman
So I hope that will be the last time I see this email. But I still can't get email from my ISP, they are all there if I log into thier webmail system but still SME won't collect them! Any ideas? Where can I look for error messages? Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Del
