I was following the Compete FreeBsd book along and came to a section that said to type "crontab crontab" to install and run the crontab. Now every 5 minutes root gets an email. Something like: Cron root From: root To: root x-cron-env etc.... root not found I've killed cron to stop the message, but why is it doing this? My shell is set to /bin/csh and I've tried changing it back to /bin/sh, (chsh)but the messages just keep coming. Only line I can see in the crontab file that's causing this is: /5 * *........root /usr/libexec/atrun I can't seem to come up with enough info on atrun to help, or how to tell Cron-env that the shell is now /bin/csh. Any ideas? Jim McIver To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
