help with cfexecd/solaris/crontab

[Dmitry Sazonov]

Hello!

I schedulled cfexecd to run from crontab on Solaris8/9 as in examples:

0,30 * * * * /usr/local/sbin/cfexecd -F -v

but it complains (via cron email):

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting server
---------------------------------------------------------------------

No schedule defined in cfagent.conf, defaulting to Min00_05
------------------------------------------------------------------

 LocalExec at Tue Apr 26 16:00:03 2005

------------------------------------------------------------------

I can tell it's not running because of the output of cfshow -s on the policy 
host
According to docs schedule doesn't need to be defined for non-daemon cfexecd.
I even defined the schedule - but it still doesn't do anything.
The only way I can make cfagent to rung is by invoking it remotelly via cfservd 
(via cfrun) manually.
cfagent works fine then...

 schedule   = ( Min00_05 Min30_35 )
