Unfortunately, I tried both suggestions and neither seemed to work. Do I
have to restart cron before it takes place?

    [root@britney /etc]# more /home/ak/crontab
    MAILTO=""
    6,42 * * * *       /home/ak/stats > /dev/null

This is what I have going right now, and I have still been getting the
e-mails...Here is what I get in a ps

    [root@britney /etc]# ps --User root
    ... Lots o' processes
    666 ?        00:00:00 gpm
    811 ?        00:00:05 httpd
    826 ?        00:00:00 crond
    900 ?        00:00:00 atalkd
    919 ?        00:00:00 rhnsd
    942 tty1     00:00:00 login
    ... Lots More

I did killall -HUP crond, but it didn't seem to do much at all.
