According to /etc/anacrontab, cronie uses run-parts to run its scripts.
#Perl warning setting locale failed how to#
I didn't know how to solve this when you asked, but I looked into it for you. There doesn't seem to be anything in the man page to indicate this. Is there a way that I can get cron to display the name of the script if it produces output? I seem to remember that the default cron in Debian is able to do this. I am aware that the cron job is likely to be in /etc/cron.daily. Any thoughts about the cronjob issue?Ĭronie is reporting that the job is one of the anacron daily tasks, meaning it is probably a job in /etc/cron.daily. I am no longer getting the error messages. That should be fixed before we tackle the cronjob issue. It's important that 'locale' prints valid locale settings and that it doesn't print error messages. Posted: Sun 10:23 am Post S: have you seen my last post about the locale output? PS - does anybody know how to get cronie to report the name of the script that the error occurred in? I had to add the second line to get rid of the error messages (locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE etc) when I ran `locale -a':

You can find a list of valid entries in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED. no output file produced because errors were issued There's no indication of which script produces the messages. In response to the second answer, the subject of the message in my cron job is Quote: Locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory Locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory Locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory Incomplete set of locale files in "//usr/lib/locale/en_AU.utf8" character map file `C.UTF-8' not found: No such file or directory * Bad entry in locale.gen: 'UTF-8 ' skipping * Generating 1 locales (this might take a while) with 4 jobs From there you can check the crontab of that user to see any relevant environment variables, or to disable the job if you don't want it to run at all.

The subject line of the cron e-mail should tell you the command that was run, and for which user.

Gentoo Forums Forum Index Portage & Programming But at least on my machine this solved the problem and stopped giving "perl: warning: Setting locale failed." warning messages and till now everything seems to be going fine.Gentoo Forums :: View topic - perl: warning: Setting locale failed. Will it cause any repercussions? I don't know. If wondering which locale to add then below CLI will list all supported locale on linux box, But frankly, the easiest and classic way is to add the below entries into the /etc/profile.Įcho “LC_ALL= en_US.UTF-8 ” > /etc/default/locale When i connect to my remote server i got errors like this: ssh sudo aptitude upgrade. Well I know there are different ways to solve this problem based on different distribution to make it work. Locale variables have no effect in remote shell (perl: warning: Setting locale failed.)
