system has started e-mailing me, cron demon



Hello,

I have started to get the following message e-mailed to me at night.

Envelope-to: web@debian
From: root@debian (Cron Daemon)
To: web@debian
Subject: Cron <root@debian> test -x /etc/init.d/anacron && /etc/init.d/anacron start
+2>/dev/null
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin>
X-Cron-Env: <MAILTO=web>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root>

Starting anac(h)ronistic cron: anacron.

It seems to be saying anacron has executed, which is fine & expected ... This seems to have started since I made changes to /etc/anacrontab, making cron.daily run at 1:05 am.

# /etc/anacrontab: configuration file for anacron

# See anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) for details.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=web

# These replace cron's entries
1       5       cron.daily       nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily
7       10      cron.weekly      nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly
30      15      cron.monthly nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly

Its not reporting an error, I'm unsure why it is mailing me ?

Dave
