Last night I created a crontab entry to check yum for available updates, and instead of it running once at the given time, it ran once a minute for an hour. Here's the entry: * 5 * * * yum check-update > /home/salvatore/yum.log; mail -s "yum check-update results" salvatore@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx < /home/salvatore/yum.log I thought the 5 in the second position meant to run once at 5am? I have other similar crontab entries which run as expected once an hour; what's wrong with that one? .salvatore http://www.sienar.org/ http://www.palmisanonet.com/ -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
