Well, in case it is not obvious, it is a message from your cron daemon
that tries ro remove all unused loadable modules from your kernel
every 10 minutes.
Why it doesn't work is a different question What kernel are you using?
Have you got rmmod installed? Is everything configured properly? Is
it the right version [a possibility: I have two Red Hat systems in
front of me right now, one is RH 6.0 with /sbin/rmmod installed from
modutils-2.1.121-12, and the other is RH 4.2 with /sbin/rmmod
installed from modules-2.0.0-5; the latter does not have -a and -s
options implemented, so maybe you are trying to do a new operation
with an old version of rmmod, and it reacts with this "not
implemented" message]? E.g. have you checked that /sbin/rmmod is there
at all (it probably is, just sanity check)? The output goes (read:
should go) to syslog (with the -s option), so maybe you'll find more
info there.
