Kolab appends the Kolab specific entries to the standard /etc/crontab
of your system. In my case this got appended there:

# <OpenPKG prefix=/kolab pkg=openpkg>
# chronological tasks of /kolab OpenPKG hierarchy
0    0  1  *  *  root  [ -f /kolab/etc/rc ] && /kolab/etc/rc all monthly
0    0  *  *  0  root  [ -f /kolab/etc/rc ] && /kolab/etc/rc all weekly
0    0  *  *  *  root  [ -f /kolab/etc/rc ] && /kolab/etc/rc all daily
0    *  *  *  *  root  [ -f /kolab/etc/rc ] && /kolab/etc/rc all hourly
*/15 *  *  *  *  root  [ -f /kolab/etc/rc ] && /kolab/etc/rc all quarterly
# </OpenPKG>

So check for these entries in your /etc/crontab.

Cheers,

Gunnar
