Re: iTools Logging, cron

[eyang@xxxxxxxxx (Eric Yang)]

Hi Bill,

Did you run the System Updates?  System Updates (Q30020403) fixes this problem by silence awstats warning message.

Therefore, if you installed the patch, then you don't need to give www user a login to receive email.

If you already ran the update, but the messages are still appearing, then check your cron jobs.

At the end of each cron job, it would say "-update", and change that to "-update > /dev/null 2>&1".

Hope this helps.

regards,

Eric
