Get him out of the crontab. I am sure this is right, but the setup (I presume this is how the RH distribution looks like) looks a bit strange. It is certainly a possibility that the kernel has no modules. Then either rmmod itself should go an look if there are any, and become a noop if there are none. Or, if the rmmod designer decided that the functionality of lsmod or whatever beast checks for modules should be external to rmmod, then the docs should say so (maybe they do), and whoever write the cron stanza (RH?) should have made it safe. Should this be brought to the attention of RH? -- Oleg Goldshmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] BLOOMBERG L.P. (BFM) [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Life's not fair, but the root password helps."

If someone decides to (re-)compile kernel without functionality, needed for some programs, then what you expect this program to do? It fails with informative error message, what else do you want? If you compile kernel without support for some filesystem, do you expect mount to be "safe" on it? It would just say "I can't", and it's perfectly valid. Which is why I said that it might well be a valid design decision of the rmmod author. However, the cron stanza that was, I assume, a part of the distribution, makes an assumption that it should not make. Not much harm done, but it seems to me there is room for improvement. Let's cut it here - the question was asked and answered. -- Oleg Goldshmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] BLOOMBERG L.P. (BFM) [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Life's not fair, but the root password helps."
