[Q] Finding a file that doesn't exist.

Hi DU Admins.

I've recently been getting this error message nightly from cron
on a PWS 433au running DU 4.0C patch level 5:

   find: /tmp/croutFYCaaaqDa : No such file or directory

The crout is constant; the rest of the file name varies.

The crontab entry that produces this is:

   20 4 * * * find /tmp -type f -atime +2 -exec rm -f {} \;

If I run that command at the root prompt it gives no errors and
I've never been able to find a file named crout* in /tmp.

Does anyone have any idea why I'm getting that message or where
these (nonexistent) files might be coming from.


Thanks
Ian
