Description Frank 2007-01-10 13:28:44 UTC

File: /etc/cron.daily/makewhatis 
original file contains this line

exec /bin/nice /usr/sbin/makewhatis -u

This generates an error as /bin/nice does not exist. The correct path for the nice command is /usr/bin/nice

As I did not generate this file, I assume it was provided by vixie-cron. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Error in cron file. 
2.
3.




The fix is to use the corrected path. 

exec /usr/bin/nice /usr/sbin/makewhatis -u
