I am getting about 60 or so messages a day from the cron daemon. I would like to stop them coming, but I don't know how. I would think if I disabled the netnews server, but it doesn't show up as being enabled with "ksysv", so I don't know what to do. A complete copy of one of the messages is below:
Envelope-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Cron Daemon) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> test -x /usr/bin/rnews && rnews -U X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh> X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/lib/news/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin> X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/var/spool/news> X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=news>
Hostname does not resolve or 'domain' in inn.conf is missing
Thanks
If you don't want any output sent to you, pipe the cron job output somewhere. 'test -x /usr/bin/rnews && rnews -U' would become '(test -x /usr/bin/rnews && rnews -U) > [somewhere] 2>&1'. [somewhere] can be /dev/null or something like /var/log/rnews-cron. The cron script that needs to be edited is probably in /etc/cron.d/.
