Hello bedlam1,
What do you get when you execute this command:
# ls -la /etc/cron.d/poweroff
Regards,
I think I self healed this following some googling after I posted here
It now reads
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 18 14:00 /etc/cron.d/poweroffhaving done that it no longer appears in cron.log
previously (when I posted here) it was
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 0 Nov 18 14:00 /etc/cron.d/poweroff
