Sorry. Should have paid more attention. The reason for the
log message is a combination of crond itself and the
settings in syslog.conf. It appears as if the version of
crond distributed with YDL 2.0 makes a lot of noise at the
.info level, which gets picked up by
*.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none
in the /etc/syslog.conf file.
To squash the log messages you are referring to (and all
other .info messages from crond), change the syslog.conf
file entry for /var/log/messages to
*.info;cron.notice;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none
In this case, you shouldn't hear anymore from crond unless
it is of priority 'notice' or higher.
Jim
