- I hate to have to ask this, but I didn't pay enough attention the last
- time I saw this go by. Cron has flipped out on our 4D-240 running Irix
- 4.0.1. Every 15 minutes or so, root receives a mail message saying:
-
- > bin:/bin:/etc:/usr/etc:/usr/bin/X11/bin/sh: is not an identifier
- >
- > *************************************************
- > Cron: The previous message is the standard output

- The obvious solution -- killing and restarting cron -- doesn't seem to
- help. I'm sure I read the workaround for this a couple months back,
- but it didn't seem important at the time...
