Description:   Opened: 2005-02-08 04:25 0000 
About 1-3 times each month I get following emails.

  Subject: Cron <root@aku> test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons
  find: /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly: No such file or directory

The reason is a race between rm in find command in run-crons and the rm commands in /etc/crontab.

actually meant to fix this a long time ago, but completely forgot about it. 
thanks for the reminder bug ;)  I'll get it fixed asap.
