Hi All!
Thanks for all of the responses. Most people suggested that I redirect
the output from my cronjobs to /dev/null. Please note that I have tried
this and still get the same messages. I am not sure what the problem is.
I am beginning to think that it is a problem with the version of cron I am
running... Can someone (who doesn't see this problem on their machine)
verify this for me?
cksum /usr/sbin/cron
2033147374 49152 /usr/sbin/cron
Thanks again for all the help.

Hi All!
I'm getting a strange error message from my cronjobs running on an Alpha
(with Digital Unix). Have you guys seen these messages? (I'm probably
missing something obvious...) They do not occur on our Solaris systems
that run the same cronjobs.
