If any cron script outputs anything on stdout or stderr, the output is emailed to you (according to MAILTO). The standard cron scripts don't output anything unless something goes wrong (e.g. you type killall updatedb while it's running). Your ntp script will output stuff even when it goes right, hence the message. You should do something like: ntpdate -s pool.ntp.org the -s puts the messages in syslog instead of stdout, to quote the manpage, "primarily for convenience of cron scripts" (speaking of which, my ntpdate script obviously isn't working, my clock was wrong again!) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
