That's probably internal mail, from some program you're running. Most
of the time, that gets sent to root; were you working as root, or
yourself? In either case, just run this:
mail
and you can see whatever messages you've got. Warning, you're stuck
with a CLI that goes back to when an interactive session used a
typewriter, and the commands are, to say the least, concise. Think of
vi, and you've got the basic idea, but at least mail's commands aren't
cryptic.
Is there anything I can do to get this thing to stop trying to find
"fwbackup"?.....I don't like the thought of things running in the back
rooms of my computer without my explicit consent!...LoL! (Coming from a
Windows environment where all kinds of "executables" might have been
running and I'd never know until the Trojan that "delivered" them to my
PC decided to take a break and let them run rampant!) I mean unless it's
absolutely necessary, and I don't see how it can be since I've never
installed....or run any command for Fwbackup....can't I delete the
command?....or the file in the folder where it lives?....
You could tell a bit more about your installation and the packages
you've installed before.
The mail you've quoted mentions "Fusion Linux Version 15" in its subject
line, but you claim you've upgraded from Fedora 15. "Fusion Linux" is
fusionlinux.org, a remix of Fedora with merged add-on packages, probably
from RPM Fusion.
In a terminal, "yum list extras" would list all installed RPM packages not
found in your configured and enabled repositories. Try that first.
Perhaps fwbackups is installed as a package. If not, it may be that you've
installed it manually. Then you need to invest some time, track it down,
and erase/uninstall it manually again. You may need to look at your
crontab files, global ones as well as your user's ones, because the
mail you refer to is about a Cron job from Cron Daemon.
Cool thanks I am still in the process of researching this, I'll keep
you posted as to how this goes for me....
EGO I
