I get the following email every five minutes and I don't know why. Obviously something is wrong, but I don't know how to identify it. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2001 10:05:00 -0600 (CST) From: root (Cron Daemon) To: root Subject: Cron <root@fledermaus> root /usr/libexec/atrun root: not found -------------End Message-------------- Here is what I've done so far: 1) read the man pages for cron(8), crontab(5), cron(1), atrun(8) and at(1), I have not found any thing to help me with this error. 2) checked if I have /usr/libexec/atrun as an actual file, I do, and it is executable 3) compared my /etc/crontab entry against the atrun(8) man page, and they are the same. 4) I've tried deleting the "root" in the /etc/crontab entry to see if the "root: not found" was cron trying to run root as the command. That did not work either. 5) I'm getting this same message for newsyslog and adkerntz -a also! But atrun fills up the fastest. Having my root mailbox fill up so quickly is annoying at the least, but downright frustrating when I cannot understand why. If anyone has any clarifications or help to offer, I am all ears. Thank you so much! Cary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
