RE: [PLUG] Re: Mystery Cron job


That got me there.  In /etc/cron.d there is an awstats job listed. Must
have been placed there by one of the installers.  Will it hurt anything
to delete it?

Cron jobs are located in /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.d, /etc/cron.weekly,
/etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.hourly, /var/spool/cron. Most likely you are
seeing one of the weekly cron jobs kick off. What kind of problems are
you seeing?
