Old versions of find would return an error if nothing was found, but newer ones don't. Instead, check whether anything was found with:

Code:
found=$( find /var/opt/logdir/* -mtime -7 -exec grep "completes" {} \; )
if [ -n "$found" ]
        then
        crontab -l > /tmp/root_cron.$DATE
        crontab -l | sed '/\/usr\/local\/bin\/job/s!^!#!' > /tmp/root_cron.new
        crontab /tmp/root_cron.new
        else
        echo "copy job did not complete"
        exit 0
fi

WEEKLY(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual							 WEEKLY(5)

NAME
weekly, weekly.conf -- weekly maintenance DESCRIPTION
The /etc/weekly script is run, by default, every Saturday morning on a NetBSD system. The /etc/weekly.conf file specifies which of the stan- dard weekly services are performed. The variables described below can be set to ``YES'' or ``NO'' in the /etc/weekly.conf file. The default settings are in the /etc/defaults/weekly.conf file. (Note that you should never edit /etc/defaults/weekly.conf directly, as it is often replaced during system upgrades.) rebuild_locatedb This rebuilds the locate(1) database, /var/db/locate.database, which must also exist, in order to be rebuilt. rebuild_mandb This rebuilds the apropos(1) database /var/db/man.db, using makemandb(8) with the -f option. rebuild_whatisdb This rebuilds the whatis(1) database(s). Note that NetBSD provides a default whatis.db for the system manual pages and this may not be needed. (Adjust your /etc/man.conf as necessary; see man.conf(5) for details.) FILES
/etc/weekly weekly maintenance script /etc/weekly.conf weekly maintenance configuration /etc/weekly.local local site additions to /etc/weekly SEE ALSO
