Hello guys,
My VPS is generating miliaries of files every minute with the names:
Cron.1 Cron.2 Cron.3 … Cron.5000
Within each file there is the phrase:
Cron task processed!
The location of the files is always in / home / admin.
Can anyone tell me how I can disable the creation of these files?
Thank you very much.

Accepted Answer
It’s likely a cron job that runs and provides some feedback on its run. Try this from the console/command line:
crontab -u admin -l
Hello, thank you very much, I was able to solve the problem. See you :)
