Modifying a crontab entry

The Administrator's Guide discusses modifying crontab entries or other scripts to prevent recursion. On Solaris systems, the standard cron job for removing old .nfs files is now in the script /usr/lib/fs/nfs/nfsfind, which is called by the root crontab, so you do not need a separate root crontab entry for removing old .nfs files. However, you can use the -prune option with any find commands in the crontab file to prevent recursion into mounted VOBs.
