New log error messages - don''t know what they are

I have been getting these error messages in the error log since I updated to 3.0.1 and don’'t know what it is. These are the only messages in there.

When I look at crontab there is only an hourly running for webmin to sync the time. Not real familier with this part of Linux so I am most likely missing something.

well those are definitely your hourly CRON jobs getting put in there. As to why, I have no idea… Why would Wildfire even care about CRON?

Hi,

which error log are you refering to? For me it looks like /var/log/messages. Did you configure syslogd to write in wildfire/logs/error.log or do you have a corrupted file system?

When I look at Wildfire here is the location of the log file Log dir: /opt/wildfire/logs

Here are the last few enties in messages:

This only started when I upgraded to 3.0.1, it was not showing this information in the logs with the previous stable version.

Thought I would add that all the other log files for Wildfire appear to be normal.

Hi,

it looks like a corrupted file system or buggy syslogd, these are not Wildfire messages.

Do you still see these messages if you shutdown syslogd?

I reinstalled syslogd with apt and now it appears that I am getting the correct messages in the log file now so that appeared to be the issue.
