Crond

jimval7 · 03-06-2002, 09:53 AM

I noticed on my /var/log/messages, CROND runs rmmod -as <-- this removes all unused autocleanable modules and removes a module stack.

That is fine for the first time, but why does it have to run every 10 mintues? I only want it running once a day or even only once a week. I did a crontab -l for root and it says:

no crontab for root

If no cron from root then where is CROND running rmmod -as? please let me know so that I can change the time for rmmod

Please help!

well running rmmod once a day isn't really that useful.. but either way, it'll be called from /etc/crontab. go from there

acid_kewpie,

My only question is why does rmmod need to run every 10 min? What is Linux doing that rmmod needs to be removing unused modules and module stacks?

I'm trying to learn here, I don't want to remove something that I need or remove something that will help out the system. Please let me know, Thanks, Jimmy
