I have a feeling I've found up pasting something where it shouldn't been pasted... Subject: Cron /home/backups/backup.sh 2>&1 | mail -s "torix backup" root you: not found Subject: Cron periodic daily you: not found I have no idea what is generating those: $ grep you /etc/crontab # does nothing, if you have UTC cmos clock. $ crontab -l | grep you $ $ grep you * 300.calendar:# with networked home directories, but also in general. If you want the 300.calendar:# output of `calendar' mailed to you, set up a cron job to do it, 300.calendar:# or run it from your ~/.profile or ~/.login.
