/etc/yacron.d is missing

[andreas-wittig]

• Yet Another Cron version: yacron-0.17.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
• Python version:
• Operating System: Docker, Ubuntu-20

Description

If the yacron-0.17.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu is run without any option it returns:
"ERROR:yacron:Configuration error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/yacron.d'"

There ist no info at all about /etc/yacron.d. What is expected there resp. what can be done there?

What I Did

./yacron-0.17.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

By default, it expects /etc/yacron.d to be a directory containing one or more yacron config files.

If you have another config file path, use the -c option.

Oh, thank you for the quick response.
My original approach was to search the term "yacron.d" in the docu - not any mention ... maybe that's worth a note.
Thank you again, merry christmas.

No, you're right. The very fact that you had to ask this question means there is a UI problem. Probably this means I need to improve that error message to explain this. That's why I am not closing this bug. Let's keep it open.
