Terminal Mail

[Wowzera]

Hello,

Sometime ago I used a program called CloverDiary, but since then, it send Mail to my terminal everyday. How can I get ride of it? It looks to be using Crontab.

From Terminal you can get a list of cron jobs for your user account by typing,

crontab -l

(That's a lowercase L at the end.)

If there is a cron job you want to get rid of enter these commands,

export EDITOR=pico
crontab -e

Then just delete the line you want.

You can alternatively try out Crontooie, which gives you a GUI for the cron jobs.

It tells me that there's no crontab for my user name, but, I still receive them

It's possible it was saved in a cron for another user account.

To see if it was assigned to the root user (hopefully not). The following command will ask for password.

sudo crontab -u root -l

The Clover Diary may have created it's own name. To check for this,

cat /etc/passwd

This will output some stuff to the screen. There'll be some lines that start with an underscore (_) followed by a name then a bunch other stuff after the colon. Those are various names that could potentially have cron jobs assigned to them. See if there's one with the name of clover diary or similar. If there is try the sudo command above again and replace root with the name you find.

If all that fails you may want to contact the maker of the program to see if they're willing to help.
