I've been seeing cron output in the syslog file and I'm not sure if it is "normal" output or error output. I'd appreciate any help or suggestions as to what the problem(s) might be. I include an excerpt from /var/log/syslog and the /etc/cron.d/exim file that contains the command referenced in the syslog. Thanks.
