m1ss1ontomars2k4 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I uninstalled some trial software, but apparently it's left entries in some crontabs somewhere, because cron keeps trying to open it even though it's not there. This is a message I received in Mail. The command-line kind, not Mail.app Message 1: From [email protected] Mon Jan 14 14:10:00 2008 X-Original-To: chris Delivered-To: [email protected] From: [email protected] (Cron Daemon) To: [email protected] Subject: Cron /Library/*blah*/*blahd* X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 14:10:00 -0800 (PST) /bin/sh: /Library/*blah*/*blahd*: No such file or directory I also get errors in my system.log.

Eligos Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Install Cronnix. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9478 Then remove ALL the cron tabs you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1ss1ontomars2k4 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Install Cronnix. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9478 Then remove ALL the cron tabs you want. There are no tasks listed in Cronnix. Absolutely none, whether for this stupid trial software or otherwise. Perhaps it's not as Leopard-compatible as the author said?
