Hi All

My admin mailbox is getting this message every MINUTE
Can anyone teel me what this is ??

Cron <root@ns4> if [ -x "/tmp/core/own" ] ; then "/tmp/core/own";
/bin/sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
-------------------
It might be a problem with a "bad" entry in /etc/crontab or
even possibly the cront table entry for admin. While logged
in to the admin account do a :crontab -l. If there is no
crontab entry for admin or if the stuff it contains is OK
then su to root and take a look at the contents of /etc/crontab
In either case look for an entry in the crontab tile in which the
leftmost field is an * character. You can directly edit the
/etc/crontab file. If the problem is in the crontab entry for
the admin account, cut and paste the content of the crontab -l
run or redirect it's output to a file. Edit the file to remove or
correct the "bad" entry and then do: crontab filename to load up the
new version of the crontab file for admin. (filename is the file that
you created via the cur-and-paste or redirect of crontab -l).
