SEND_MAIL_ON_NO_ERROR merely sets cron to report "successful" activity to root. It did nothing to your cron job. > Do you want to leave it as is or would you like to see if we can > figure out what happened? You didn't change anything wrt your cron job. BUT, if you don't change it, SEND_MAIL...., root will receive mail notification each time a cron job is successful. You *will* change it when you become annoyed with the notification or when /var runs out of space due to the size of root's mailbox. - -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHbSJmClSjbQz1U5oRAjlqAJ42vk6QxF88FqDcOjaAfpvHDOURHgCfVdqv OIRkK7aYgfz5swoMRgn5fLU= =lpr5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
