Matt, I understand what cron is, was just unsure what the error code meant, but it turned out to be that I had actually (although I don't quite remember doing it) uninstalled websvn. A quick apt-get install websvn and its working again...although tomorrow will tell if the cron job works :) Thanks, regards, Jon Reynolds (j0nr) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Cron Help
There's a script called websvn running daily and failing. Try running /etc/cron.daily/websvn from the command line and see what's happening. If you just want to suppress the mail, append >&/dev/null to the command line in anacron or remove root from the MAILTO environment variable in /etc/anacrontab.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Cron Help
Morning Jon, Cron is a tool for scheduling repetitive tasks. Do you think this is coming from your box? Where does the email come from?
