I don't think so.<br>
<br>
There is a number of cases where this is not relevant, I don't know<br>
who added that into crontab, but I am pretty sure that nobody from<br>
toolsadmin team is going to remove any line from it as long as it's<br>
sane (for example some simple check that just submit some kind of<br>
e-mail, tail some log file etc, doesn't need to be run as a job, since<br>
the job itself is less resource expensive than submitting it to SGEN).<br>
<br>
So I think you can ignore this in your case. The note should be reworded though.<br>
