Re: [squid-users] Setting a cron job at system startup

Sir,
(Sendmail is not installed)
When I pass the 'make' command to anacron, I get the following error;

/bin/sh -ec "cc -MM -DSPOOLDIR=\"/var/spool/anacron\"
-DRELEASE=\"2.3\" -DANACRONTAB=\"/etc/anacrontab\" runjob.c \
        | sed '1s/^\(.*\)\.o[ :]*/\1.d &/1' > runjob.d"
/bin/sh -ec "cc -MM -DSPOOLDIR=\"/var/spool/anacron\"
