Hello,You might wanna chance those lines to "nice -19 run-parts --report /etc/cron.<interval>". I don't know if that's the problem, but it might be ;)
I have started to get the following message e-mailed to me at night.
Envelope-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Cron Daemon)
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> test -x /etc/init.d/anacron && /etc/init.d/anacron start
+2>/dev/null

Starting anac(h)ronistic cron: anacron.
It seems to be saying anacron has executed, which is fine & expected ... This seems to have started since I made changes to /etc/anacrontab, making cron.daily run at 1:05 am.
# /etc/anacrontab: configuration file for anacron
# See anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) for details.
SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=web
# These replace cron's entries 1 5 cron.daily nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily 7 10 cron.weekly nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly 30 15 cron.monthly nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly
Its not reporting an error, I'm unsure why it is mailing me ?

Also, check in your cron directories to see if there's a crontab entry that restarts crontab. That's what's likely to be causing the problem. Crontab emails you any output generated by the crontab entries, and that would indicate at some point, cron is being (re)started. Do something like a "grep -r "cron" `find -name "/etc/cron*" -print`" (without quotes, of course).
