As root, I just issue the command: #>rcotrs restart and that starts my cron for me. I thought it also set the cron to run as the correct user - no?

Subject: RE: [otrs] Cron daemon flooding me with messages Hi Tyler, It seems, that you start the cron jobs with the wrong user. The cron jobs have to start from the otrs user, else they won't find the their right homedirs!

I currently have 38,000 mail messages in my root mailbox. I have received them in less than a month's time. The majority come from the OTRS cron daemon. Can someone please tell me how to make this stop?

Here are the contents of a mail message:

...

From tylerh@host X-Original-To: root@localhost Delivered-To: root@localhost From: root@host To: root@localhost Subject: Cron $HOME/bin/PostMasterPOP3.pl >> /dev/null X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: Date: Some date

/bin/sh: line 1: /home/tylerh/bin/PostMasterPOP3.pl: No such file or directory

I can see that the cron is looking for the *.pl files in my home directory (of course they are not there, they are in /opt/otrs/bin), but why is it looking there and how do I make it stop?

Thanks,

Tyler Hepworth
