My syslog is filled with lines like:
| Code: | Apr 5 16:30:01 multivac cron[19216]: (root) CMD (root^Itest -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons )
Apr 5 16:30:01 multivac cron[19217]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons )
Apr 5 16:35:01 multivac cron[19304]: (root) CMD (root^Itest -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons )
Apr 5 16:40:01 multivac cron[19394]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons )

Apr 5 16:55:01 multivac cron[19657]: (root) CMD (root^Itest -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons )

Apr 5 17:20:01 multivac cron[20235]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons ) |
They go on and on forever. It's some sort of cron log but it serves no purpose. Can I turn it off?
The crontab for root looks like this:
| Code: |
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=""
HOME=/
# check scripts in cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly and cron.monthly
0 * * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly
1 3 * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily
15 4 * * 6 root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.weekly
30 5 1 * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.monthly
*/5 * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons

I think it's an unmodified vixiecron crontab but I do use cron by placing scripts in the /etc/cron.<time>/ folders.

[DUP] for (among others) Cron message every 10 minutes in /var/log/message...
