[BlueOnyx:11779] Re: Cron issues

[Jim Matysek]

Awesome. Thank you, Michael and Tjerk. I just ran crontab -r and have my 
fingers crossed that it goes away. crontab -l on this VPS did list cron 
jobs for the root user, where none were listed on another VPS, so I'm 
sure this will fix it. Thank you again, and welcome back, Michael. Hope 
your new settings are working out for you.
