Title: Cron Daemon refresh-ddns messages to root
Post by: mark on February 06, 2003, 11:30:10 PM

Anyone seen this or have ideas on it?

Since running 5.6 (I was previously running 5.0) I have been seeing mail sent to root every week as follows:

>   From: Cron Daemon
>       To: root@xxxxxxxxxxxx.com
>Subject: Cron run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
>
>/etc/cron.weekly/refresh-ddns:
>
>password:

Anyone know if this is an error or problem that needs attention?
I am using the ez-ipupdate package to update my domain's ip to easydns, I am guessing it may have something to do with the updates but I am not seeing any problems with the actual function of the system or the dynamic ip getting updated.

thanks for any assistance

I've found that any output from a cron script will get mailed out. Try running "/etc/cron.weekly/refresh-ddns" from the console and see what happens. If it works fine, you can add "> /dev/null" to the end to drop the output so it doesn't get mailed.
