[cobalt-users] [RaQ3i] cron entry problem



Hello List,

I am not that experienced with crontab entries and I can't seem to figure out how to delete one that is causing emails to be sent to my admin user account. The crontab entry was created to run a .pl script every hour, which then generates an email that is supposed to go to a another user. Since it cannot reach this user, it gets bounced to me Admin account I think. I deleted this user's account and now I am not sure how to delete the crontab entry for this account. When I do a "crontab -u exampleuser", it says "user not found" or something to that effect. How do I go about finding where this crontab entry was created, what user it is attached to, and how to kill it off? When I do a "crontab -e" as root, the text file that the editor program opens says cleary not to edit that file... ?!

Any pointers would be much appreciated,

Thanks,

~ Theo
