### Describe your issue
Hello all,
For the past months or so, I am getting this error messages in the daily root email service (object: _Cron [root@mydomain](mailto:root@mydomain) test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || { cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily; }_).
This is VERY similar to [Errors in daily root emails](https://forum.yunohost.org/t/errors-in-daily-root-emails/40139) but the return code is different (1 in my case, not 127).
Is is safe to apply the same solution (`sudo rm /etc/cron.daily/node_update`)?
Thanks.

IIRC the solution was to remove the file `/etc/cron.daily/node_update`, it was supposed to be autoremoved but alas.

Thanks.
In my case, the return code is 1. In this [post](https://forum.yunohost.org/t/errors-in-daily-root-emails/40139), the error code is 127. Does it matter or can I just remove the file with `sudo rm /etc/cron.daily/node_update `?

The whole functionality provided by this util is defunct, you can safely remove it.
