cron error? what does it mean?

[dikkiedirk]

I see this line in my syslog:

 

Jun 7 12:49:01 Tower crond[1204]: failed parsing crontab for user root: cron=""

 

what does it mean? Can it have something to do with the S3-script I installed yesterday?

likely... probably have a blank line in the crontab file.

Small update:

 

It seems to happen every hour: 12:49, 13:49. Happened twice now after a reboot. Could be this e-mail notification, but it never gave this error before.

I get the same thing happening every time I load Simple Features...   

 

If I don't load SF... no such entries...

I run SF too, with only the S3 add-on.

I had this issue too.  For some reason I had cron= in my crontab I just commented it out and no more error.

Known bug in SF which they will correct in next version.

 

Options:

1. each reboot, go into cron and remove/comment out the offending line

2. set up scheduled parity check vi SF

Where can I find the crontab?

telnet into unRaid

from cmd prompt type  crontab -e

puts you in vi editor (if unfamiliar, google vi editor cheat sheet for helpful info)
