Hi if you want cron to not send any messages make the entries produce no output: &> /dev/null # this might help if you want cornjobs not to be executed, then delete or comment the line

Yes I can understand that far yet /usr/lib/cron/run-crons script check the cron.daily cron weekly cron.monthly entries and runs them as the need arises. By commenting this specific cron entry that basicly I stop running the crom jobs. In addition I still want to correct this not just avoidning the problem yet correcting it. I am using SuSE since December 1999 and this mail message started like two days ago. Somehow some thing I did probably trigered this.

Hi everyone,

I have started to receive messages from the Cron daemon as shown below. Definetely cron jobs are not done as I understand it. I had a look to man crontab yet it discusses what to if I add or change cron jobs and the below is default suse cronjob (AFAIK)and run-crons file is sitting on the exact place mentined my the mail. Any idea on how to correct this behaviour

Thanks
