They're in /var/cron/tabs. If you're using individual crontab files, be sure to rename /etc/crontab or you might have duplicated cronjobs running simultaneously. I use the file header beneath my signature for crontab files, so I don't forget what field goes where. It's also handy to define an environment variable in case a program should behave differently when run under cron. -- Karl Vogel I don't speak for the USAF or my company # ==================================================================== # Everything on a line is separated by blanks or tabs. # Set CRON so scripts know when they're being run non-interactively.
