Files in /var/cron *DO NOT* take a user name field!! Only /etc/crontab does, and you use vi or any other editor to change it, not crontab -e!!!! > and then: > > crontab -e > > and deleted it > > but it kept on running once a minute CHeck that /var/cron/tabs/root is empty, rm it since you probably don't want one there anyway, kill and restart cron. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
