Hello,
I need further clarification from this post:
http://forums.amahi.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3876
I attempted to change /etc/cron.daily to /usr/bin/greyhole --fsck --email-report --if-conf-changed --dont-walk-graveyard > /dev/null (thank you BigFoot for helping out here!)
but unfortunately it still doesn't send me a daily report, is there any way I can get it to do this?
Many thanks!

/etc/cron.daily is a folder that contains scripts to be executed daily . What was suggested was to copy the greyhole object in the /etc/cron.weekly folder, called greyhole, into the daily folder, so that it is executed daily instead
not sure what you did from looking above but it seems a little scary to me.

Only thing I changed from the weekly to the daily is "--email-report"

but you copied the "greyhole" file from the weekly to the daily folder right?
and then edited that copy?

Nope, I merely edited the copy that was in the daily folder (I'm assuming that's the midnight one)

Yup yup. Everything *seems* to work fine if I do a manual --fsck -e (I get an email, everything is wonderful), however can't quite seem to get it to send an email when it does it's midnight fsck. That's the bit that I'm (possibly) being a noob on.

are you sure it even ran?
--if-conf-changed --dont-walk-graveyard
those 2 options might have prevented it from running
