Re: running cron jobs setpriority permission denied

Hi,
If you saw also logins to jail (jesec /bin/csh) has logged similar errors.

# ll /etc/cron.d/
total 8
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  203 Dec  2 07:45 at
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  318 Mar  8 23:40 directadmin_cron

The job is inside a file in /etc/cron.d
I tried to put it directly in /etc/crtontab give same error log
