how do I remove this?

Post by maka »

I stopped my eggdrop from running and deleted it's directory from my shell, but I still keep getting emails...each one is like this exactly:


/bin/sh: /home/USERNAME/eggdrop/eXs: No such file or directory


the subject says: cron: /home/USERNAME/eggdrop/eXs|waffle.botchk >/dev/null 2>&

username is replaced with my username.

Hey, learn how to read a mail :)
cron means that your crontab tries to launch waffle.botchk.
So, juste type crontab -e (to edit) and delete or comment the line :)

I did crontab -e, and deleted the line and then put :w to save without quitting. Once I quit, and go back to edit the file, the line is still there.

crontab -r ... try a man crontab
by the way your system does not like that | in the filename it sees it as a pipe
