On one of them, I'm now getting cron error messages to root every time cron tries to run a job. For example, every 5 minutes, I get one for the atrun command: ---------- >From daemon Thu Nov 12 19:10:00 1998 Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1998 19:10:00 -0800 (PST) From: root (Cron Daemon) To: root Subject: Cron root /usr/libexec/atrun X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: root: not found ----- I havn't changed my root account in any way (that is, it's still there of course). I also havn't changed root's cron file. It still has: */5 * * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun Other cron jobs create the same email. The cron job still runs. That is, if there are jobs in the at queue, then they get run when cron runs atrun. I then get to emails. One for the successful completion of the at job, and one from cron, complaining 'root: not found'. __o -\<, Rich By default, everything deserves respect.
