I am a running FreeBSD 4.2R system and am quite new at it. Last night, I decided to look at the default crontab so I issued "crontab -u root -e" (I now realize I should have used -l instead) and there it was. Since I really didn't want to change anything, typed ":" and then "q!". I then decided I wanted to print the contents of /etc/periodic/daily" so I typed " cd /etc/periodic/daily" and then "cat * > dailyfile". / immediately filled up. I deleted dailyfile and reissued the cat as " cat * > ~/dailyfile" and all was well. Well not quite, I am getting an email from cron every five minutes: _________________________________________________ Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 21:50:00 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <200101110250.f0B2o0500226@a.b.c> Subject: Cron <root@mimas> root /usr/libexec/atrun X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh> X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin> X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root> X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root> X-Cron-Env: <USER=root> To: root@a.b.c From: root@a.b.c (Cron Daemon) X-UIDL: ec9260d669e9fb0937417cdebb909904 root: not found _____________________________________________________ Any and all ideas are welcome ___________________________________________________________ Scott Reber AtLANta TEChnical Group, Inc. sreber@atltechgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
