Cron Daemon mail

[hm2k]

I have recently removed a file from our server, however, it seems that the file was set to run by crontab.

I have used crontab -l to list all the crons under root, and I cannot see this file.

Yet it keeps trying to run, and I keep getting mail to say that.

The mail I receive is as follows:

How can I stop this?

 

[nickp666]

check in /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.weekly and /etc/cron.monthly

Check Directories, Files and Locations used in cron

Yeah nick999 is right .. Check the files for remove cron tab.
/etc/crontab file
/etc/cron.hourly
/etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.weekly
/etc/cron.monthly
/etc/cron.allow

The locations above are where you put your file to be run.
