Andreas
Rather then delete anything, it would be safer to change the name
then to remove it. mv /etc/cron.d/modutils /etc/cron.d/1.modutils.
This would probably create log messages as well so I don't know what
you would gain by removing the file or changing the name.
I myself would leave thing as they are, but its your system.
HTH, YMMV, HAND
