Hi, After I upgraded from slackware-10.2 to sw-11 playing a sound I get a message in xterm as well as one send to the mailbox: In xterm @~:$ .growl Input Filename : /home/peter/sound/growl.wav Sample Size : 8-bits Sample Encoding: unsigned Channels : 1 Sample Rate : 22050 Time: 00:01.53 [00:00.00] of 00:01.53 ( 100.0%) Output Buffer: 67.39K In the Mail Subject: cron: cd /usr/local/saytime/sounds/; ./saytime.sh Input Filename : /home/peter/sound/saytemp Sample Size : 8-bits Sample Encoding: u-law Channels : 1 Sample Rate : 8000 Time: 00:01.02 [00:00.00] of 00:00.00 ( 0.0%) Output Buffer: 44.98K Time: 00:02.05 [00:00.00] of 00:00.00 ( 0.0%) Output Buffer: 90.14K Time: 00:03.02 [00:00.00] of 00:00.00 ( 0.0%) Output Buffer: 132.82K Done. Why is this and how can it be stopped especially those messages send to the mailbox?
