I have a crontab file called /var/spool/cron/root with these contents. When I use the command, crontab -l, these are the contents which are displayed.
I have a couple of questions, the first is pretty simple... I hope:
1. With regards to the '##run-parts' line at the top, does this mean that I do not need 'run-parts' in the command for the top six cronjobs?
2. I changed the crontab file from another one to this one. In the previous file, I entered an incorrect email address in the MAILTO field. Even though I have changed the crontab file and confirmed it is changed by using crontab -l, I am getting emails through saying:
How can I check to see if there is another file crontab is using? I am thinking that there may be two running which are conflicting with each other?
