After removing DrWeb I’m now getting the following cron job error emailed to me:
/bin/sh: /opt/drweb/update.pl: not found
restore QMail prefs with mchk util:
./mchk -without-spam
root@blue:/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin# ./mchk -without-spam
didn’t remove cron job error. but this seemed to deliver all Qmail queu…
found the DrWeb cron job in /var/spool/cron/crontabs
root@blue:/var/spool/cron/crontabs# ls -l

removed the cron job – i’ll see if this stops the emails. I’m afraid that the QMail cron or something is calling drweb. we’ll see if this works.
root@blue:/home/primax# crontab -r -u drweb
this will remove the cron job for drweb…
finally *might have* figured out how to get rid of the annoying drweb cron emails, “/bin/sh: /opt/drweb/update.pl: not found”
Log in as root (or you can use sudo) and open /etc/drweb/drweb32.ini:
Look for:
CronSummary = Yes
And change it to:
CronSummary = No
o.k. location of the stoopid DrWeb cron job, /etc/cron.d

from this site I found you can stop the annoying emails.
but for me, i’m deleting the annoying thing!
rm drweb-update
bye — bye —
