Hi All,

I am getting these errors in /root/dead.letter:
===========================================
/etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis: line 5: /bin/nice: No such file or directory
/etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis: line 5: exec: /bin/nice: cannot execute: No such 
file or directory
===========================================

Of course, I can only find /usr/bin/nice so that may make sense.  Is it a cron 
bug?

Hold on, I do not have a /etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis either!  My daily is just 
like yours.  Perhaps this is something to do with vixie-cron updated 
yesterday.  Do I need to do anything about it?

Your email says /etc/cron.weekly so it must have existed at the time it
was generated.  I've never seen a makewhatis in /etc/cron.weekly

I've three different machines and all show the same error in dead.letter.  
Like yours none of them has a makewhatis under /etc/cron.weekly.  It doesn't 
make sense to me.

I have it as weekly and I just fixed the path -- don't know why nice
 was moved or what else went wrong.  Seems to me it should be
 weekly, anyway.
