Thanks for that clarification. The files were being created every minute, in concordance with the frequence I run the scheduler. I was able to solve it adding ">/dev/null 2>&1" to the end of the line in crontab, so it ended up like this:
* * * * * python /var/www/medios/web2py.py -K webmedios >/dev/null 2>&1 That did the trick, and those files are not created anymore. Thank you for your help! Best regards, Lisandro.
