If you do not use your system for faxing purposes, you may safely comment out these calls in /etc/crontab: #0 * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/faxqclean && /usr/sbin/faxqclean #25 23 * * * root test -e /usr/sbin/faxcron && sh /usr/sbin/faxcron | mail FaxMaster Bye, LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH <A HREF="mailto:grimmer@suse.de">mailto:grimmer@suse.de</A> Schanzaeckerstr. 10 <A HREF="http://www.suse.de/~grimmer"><A HREF="http://www.suse.de/~grimmer</A">http://www.suse.de/~grimmer</A</A>> 90443 Nuernberg, Germany - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

If you do not use your system for faxing purposes, you may safely comment out these calls in /etc/crontab:
That's true but the other script (run-crons) is definetely needed since this is the one responsible for calling the hourly, daily and weekly cron scripts (in /etc/cron.xxx) at appropriate times:
Feb 26 20:15:00 wdm /USR/SBIN/CRON[739]: (root) CMD ( test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons )
You can at least get rid of the messages in the syslog by putting a "-" in front of the /etc/crontab entry for that script: -*/15 * * * * root test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons Andreas - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
