Cron Daemon: /bin/sh: ntpdate: command not found

[usja]

Every 10 minutes i recieve this message on e-mail:
Subject: Cron <root@server> ntpdate 0.ua.pool.ntp.org
/bin/sh: ntpdate: command not found

i've tried:
- remove and install ntp, ntpdate – no result
- in /etc/crontab – no taska
when i try run ntpdate under sh:

Code: Select all

sh-4.1# ntpdate 0.ua.pool.ntp.org
17 Apr 09:10:09 ntpdate[15295]: adjust time server 193.27.209.211 offset -0.000642 sec

Don't run ntpdate from cron, configure and use ntpd instead.

If you run crontab -l as root, you'll probably see the command. Remove it, for example with crontab -e. The reason why the ntpdate command is not found is probably related to path settings. You would need to specify the full path /usr/sbin/ntpdate in the cron command, if you wanted to use ntpdate.

thx for reply.
i haven't add any tasks to crontab.

Code: Select all

[root@server ~]# crontab -l
no crontab for root

It's obviously running it from somewhere! Check in the various /etc/cron* directories and see if there is an entry in one of those, most likely is a file in /etc/cron.d/
