Sounds like something from /etc/cron.hourly. I'd go in there and check out what is setup. Got this fixed, it seems, as there's been no hourly email at 0700 this morning. Ron correctly led me to /etc/cron.hourly where there was a scripty-thing that would send an email with an error message if one of 3 conditions were met, and (strangely) send an email with no error no conditions were met. Thinking about it a bit before-shower I decided to jump into Logdrake and use the wizard there to remake that file. I did. The emails stopped. I checked the file and it now has only one condition (load3) and that seems to be conditional. My sincere thanks to Ron, the only response I received.

Ron, I was doubtful, but here's my logdrake_service and it DOES look like it's set up to send a blank email every hour! I know nothing about scripting, is there an if/then statement missing? I certainly didn't change anything, any ideas how this happened? Any advice appreciated -- another 24 blank emails today. grin =-=-= [EMAIL PROTECTED] cron.hourly]$ cat logdrake_service #!/usr/bin/perl # generated by logdrake use MDK::Common; my $r = *** . chomp_(`date`) . ***\n; #- check services $r .= Service postfix (Postfix Mail Server is not running)\n unless -e /var/lock/subsys/postfix; $r .= Service xinetd (Xinetd Service is not running)\n unless -e /var/lock/subsys/xinetd; #- load my ($load) = split ' ', first(cat_(/proc/loadavg)); $r .= Load is huge: $load\n if $load 3; #- report it my $email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; local *F; open F, '|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t'; print F q(Subject: logdrake Mail Alert From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ), $email\n; print F $r; [EMAIL PROTECTED] cron.hourly] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
