19991007: 19991006: mailing stats

Tom,

try the following:

1) become root and type "crontab -l"

   That will list out the commands in root's cron.
   Since you are seeing the error message mailed to you from Super-user,
   I suspect that root has an entry for trying to run dostats. You can
   remove that invocation.

2) Become the ldm user and type "crontab -l"
   You should see that LDM is running dostats even though you show it commented
   out in the list below. This is where is should be run, and apparently is.
   I have looked at our stats mail logs and see that address@hidden is
   the user we are receiving stats from, eg:

   Oct  7 09:35:02 laraine.unidata.ucar.edu sendmail[21882]: JAA21882: 
   from=<address@hidden>, 
   size=1361, class=0, pri=31361, nrcpts=1, msgid=<address@hidden>, 
   proto=ESMTP, relay=byron.ca.uky.edu [128.163.192.2]

You can edit your crons directly with:
setenv EDITOR vi    (or your prefered editor)
crontab -e

The listing you show below I suspect is not the same as what you are actually 
running.
