I've been getting an error in cron like this:

CRON[17744]: (CRON) error (grandchild #17745 failed with exit status 1)

in syslogs. I ignored it for a while (brilliant, I know), and then suddenly my vps had exceeded its inode quota. Poking around, it turns out that php wasn't deleting session files, which I assume is the cron error I am seeing (some hints at this here). Here's my /etc/cron.d/php5 entry:

09,39 *     * * *     root   [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -depth -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) ! -execdir fuser -s {} 2>/dev/null \; -delete

I assume the cron entry is okay, since I can't believe I've edited it... what could be wrong with my setup?

I ran into this the other day on Ubuntu 11.10. There's an open bug - and restoring 11.04's /etc/cron.d/php5 command worked perfectly.
