makehistory in crontab (LINUX)

[Chris Loos]

Hello,
I configured INN under LINUX and it is working quit well.
And I added a cronjob as I found in a FAQ:

# check the history database from time to time
# date: every tuesday morning 04:00am
0 4 * * 2 news /usr/lib/news/bin/makehistory -buv

When this job ran this week the first time, I got an email telling me that
innd is not running. And it was true - the daemon was killed, also when I
ran the cronjob later manually...
So my question:
Is my cronjob definition wrong? Or should I run it just after a crash to
rebuild the database? Should I use other parameters?

Thanks for help, best regards,
 	Chris Loos
