cron error

[Victor Odhner]

Sonja, for what it's worth:

I searched Google.com for

   DB2 "cron.daily"

... and got a bunch of articles back that
looked like they might be about this message.

You are obviously very knowledgeable, but I'm
not sure if you are experienced with cron jobs.

The cron job identified in the subject line is
sending its stderr stream to the "owner" of the
job, which is root.

Are you running (IBM's) DB2 on your system?
If so, the DB2 setup may have a daily maintenance
script installed as a part of cron.daily -- have
you looked in there?

Good luck,

Vic
