I am getting from my cron daemon (every FIVE minutes!), the following
message:
From root@shaman.lycaeum.org Mon May 20 23:37:44 1996
Date: Mon, 20 May 1996 23:35:00 -0600 (MDT)
From: Cron Daemon <root@shaman.lycaeum.org>
To: root@shaman.lycaeum.org
Subject: Cron <root@shaman> root /usr/libexec/atrun
root: not found
which, in the tradition of UNIX, is pretty vague. History preceding this
symptom:
1) SUP from 2.1R to 2.1-stable. Built kernel and entire source tree.
2) Edit /etc/crontab with pico (wasn't aware of the crontab -e utility).
Realized my mistake, and copied the original /etc/crontab from the
FreeBSD Live Filesystem CDROM (CD number two from Walnut Creek) over the
corrupted /etc/crontab
3) Started receiving the mail every file minutes as seen above.
You know, I do like getting mail, but when it's from cron... ;) Any ideas
on how to cure this?
Andy
