Reply with quote

I keep getting this email sent to root at random periods during the day:

Code:

Cron <root@benny> test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons
find: /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly: No such file or directory

Quite annoying. /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly exists, and is 0 bytes long. Anyone know how to shut it up

?

I get rid of the cron mails alltogether by putting

Code:

MAILTO=""

at the top of any crontab.

another thing to check... is that file excutable?
that's what the test -x command it is running checks for.
