My log is full of stuff like the following (this probably makes up 70% or more of the syslog)

May 11 05:45:55 bubba /USR/SBIN/CRON[31196]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/bin/php && /usr/bin/php /usr/share/horde3/scripts/alarms.php)

May 11 06:05:28 bubba ntpd[32224]: kernel time sync enabled 4001

Firstly what are all these messages about?
secondlyhHow can I turn "Horde3" off?

I posted a similar question some time ago but nobody seems to know!

Cheers

You can simple remove the Horde related stuff from cron. You'll find it in "/etc/cron.d/bubba-horde".
Note that this will prevent certain things from working as it should, but if you don't use Horde, it should be fairly safe.

According to the logs the script is run from cron and a quick look in /etc/crond.d/ shows a file called bubba-horde with this content

Code: Select all

# vim: ft=crontab sw=2 sts=2
# Regular cron jobs for the bubba-horde package
#

# Horde Alarms
*/5 * * * *     root    test -x /usr/bin/php && /usr/bin/php /usr/share/horde3/scripts/alarms.php

# Temp Cleanup
0 23 * * *      root    test -x /usr/share/horde3/scripts/temp-cleanup.cron && /usr/share/horde3/scripts/temp-cleanup.cron

# Kronolith reminders
0 2 * * *       root    test -x /usr/bin/php && /usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/horde3/kronolith/scripts/reminders.php > /dev/null 2>&1
/etc/cron.d/bubba-horde (END)

Just comment out the lines that you do not want to execute. A comment starts with the # token. So to make none of the script to run you should change the content of the file to

Code: Select all

# vim: ft=crontab sw=2 sts=2
# Regular cron jobs for the bubba-horde package
#

# Horde Alarms
#*/5 * * * *     root    test -x /usr/bin/php && /usr/bin/php /usr/share/horde3/scripts/alarms.php

# Temp Cleanup
#0 23 * * *      root    test -x /usr/share/horde3/scripts/temp-cleanup.cron && /usr/share/horde3/scripts/temp-cleanup.cron

# Kronolith reminders
#0 2 * * *       root    test -x /usr/bin/php && /usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/horde3/kronolith/scripts/reminders.php > /dev/null 2>&1

If you want to understand the syntax of the file you can run the following command in a shell.

Code: Select all

man -s 5 crontab

Thanks for the replies.

I figured out it must be cron jobs and commented them out..

However the admin interface still shows a little envelope the is fully enables and allows you to click on it and open a mail window. Is it possible to remove/hide this?
