In /etc/cron.daily there's a file called htdig-dbgen.
Just chmod -x that and it's over with the messages.

Try running kcron (part of KDE). It makes the whole crontab creation process
very simple. For a tutorial, go to http://mandrakeuser.org/admin/acron.html.
MandrakeUser.org has great tutorials for most things you'll need.

Hi Larry,
Let me see if I've got this straight. Your wanting cron to run a script that will
log an idle user off the system and return to the gui startup screen. Right? I'm
not sure if cron is the best method though. How will it determine that the user
is not active and log them out

I think you should try and figure out a script to determine the PID of the
Xserver, and let cron do a kill -9 on that. That will kick the login
Hi,
I have written the following and I want cron to run it for me. It is in a
file called /etc/cron.d/katrina
59 22 * * * root passwd -l katrina
00 23 * * * root halt
00 8 * * * root passwd -u katrina

The second line does nothing at all. What
Hi everyone,
I have changed the times on crontab this evening and restarted cron (all
as root of course, but "su"d in a window. Had to, since my computer is not
on at night when the cron-entries usually are run.
This is what I get when the hourly check runs:

If you run mdk 7.0 or higher, there should be a line in your
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime already containing the necessary
hdparms to optimize your hard drive.
Look at this script and modify it following your needs. I think it's the
best thing to do.

Hi, all --
Have any of you configured a CRON table? I would like to have our Linux Server
perform a cleanup operation once each day,
and CRON would seem to be the way to do this. I have looked at the MAN tables for
both CRON and CRONTAB, and they are
all but undecipherable. Can you advise
I have had a single cron job that monitors my ip address running for quite some
time on my box with no problems. A few days ago, I added a second job to
run "rdate -sp time.nist.gov" at specifc intervals. It seems that after a day
or so, both jobs stop ( no email to root ), and crond returns

Every time cron runs the below thing is what is sent to the root user. I
logged on as root to install a new rpm I downloaded and it said I had
mail. I checked mail and 8 messages were based on this error. Any clue
how to fix the error?
