HP, Here is the mail message I continue to recieve on the hour: Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2000 17:01:01 -0700 From: Cron Daemon <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Cron <root@www> /home/sites/site2/database/sentinel.pl /bin/sh: /home/sites/site2/database/sentinel.pl: No such file or directoryI'm pretty sure the cronjob is installed as root also. Here's what I get when doing a "crontab -l":
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (/tmp/crontab.7142 installed on Wed Nov 29 16:45:44 2000) # (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (something.crontab installed on Fri May 19 13:13:41 2000) # (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $) 1 * * * * /home/sites/site2/database/sentinel.plI had allready tried a "crontab -e" as root, but the first line that it outputs in edit mode tended to stop me... :

Since it cannot reach this user, it gets bounced to me Admin account I think.is it bounced, or does it arrive there directly ? is it a root cronjob ? root`s mail is forwarded to the alias "sys", wich is the admin account and other adresses you assign in the gui.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 iscrontab -l as root to see root`s crontab, and check /etc/crontab, too.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... ?!it means that you should not edit it *directly*, but using crontab -e. "man crontab" ((5), i think) is your friend.
