I'm loooking for help with Cron. When cron is running my mailbox starts to fill up with hundreds of mails from cron and they are all the same: Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2003 17:40:00 GMT From: root@schro.konundrum.org (Cron Daemon) To: root@schro.konundrum.org Subject: Cron <root@schro> root /usr/libexec/atrun X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh> X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin> X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root> X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root> X-Cron-Env: <USER=root> root: not found And in the log file they are full with: Jan 22 13:25:00 schro cron[44063]: (root) CMD (atrun) Jan 22 13:25:00 schro cron[44064]: (root) CMD (root^Iatrun) Jan 22 13:30:00 schro cron[44330]: (root) CMD (atrun) Jan 22 13:30:00 schro cron[44331]: (root) CMD (root^Iatrun) I have read over the atrun man pages and the cron man pages and I can't figure out what the problem is. My crontab looks alright: # /etc/crontab - root's crontab for FreeBSD # # $FreeBSD: src/etc/crontab,v 1.21.2.3 2000/12/08 10:56:07 obrien Exp $ # SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin HOME=/var/log # #minute hour mday month wday who command # */5 * * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun # # rotate log files every hour, if necessary 0 * * * * root newsyslog # # do daily/weekly/monthly maintenance 1 3 * * * root periodic daily 15 4 * * 6 root periodic weekly 30 5 1 * * root periodic monthly # # time zone change adjustment for wall cmos clock, # does nothing, if you have UTC cmos clock. # See adjkerntz(8) for details. 1,31 0-5 * * * root adjkerntz -a Can anyone shed some light on this subject. Have I missed something completely obvious or is it something entirely different? -- It takes two to lie Marge, one to lie and one to listen.
