Stopping svn-autoreleasedeb

Question

How can you stop the program?

My auth.log has regularly similar entries as follows

Answer 1

This means that a cronjob was run for the user svn-autoreleasedeb. You can search for cronjobs for a specific user in

• /etc/crontab
• /etc/cron.d
• and with the command crontab -u svn-autoreleasedeb -e

If you really want to disable the cronjob then, just comment the lines with a # in front.

Additional information can be found in the manpages of cron and crontab(5)

Answer 2

Your cron file shoud be "/etc/cron.d/svn-autoreleasedeb".

Maybe you can remove the package svn-autoreleasedeb.
