[Mailman-Users] Cron problem...

[Kent Howard]

Looks like your old crontab entries were installed as root (from
looking at cron's email to you.  You probably (at least you should
have) installed mailman's crontab.in as the mailman user.  If your
mailman user is named mailman, you can check with

	crontab -u mailman -l

It should show the NEW crontab from cron/crontab.in

Then check root's crontab

	crontab -u root -l

If you see old mailman entries in there then

	crontab -u root -e

and edit them out.  Or if ONLY mailman entries are in the root
crontab you can remove root's crontab altogether with

	crontab -u root -r

| Hey Kent-
| 
| How do I get rid of the old crontab entries, as I already have run
| 'crontab /home/mailman/cron/crontab.in' from the 2.0 installation, as I
| have deleted the files related to 1.1?
| 
| Thanks Much!
| 
| Sincerely,
| Johnny
