Okay, if I reword it to say "Most of us who administer Cobalt RaQs create scripts in the /etc/cron.* directories, and use /etc/crontab to get to run them" is that reasonable? I know I do it, and just about everyone I've discussed it with does it that way. On all the systems I've ever administered for hosting companies and ISPs, we've always set up all the cron jobs ourselves, and always using /etc/crontab. I suppose for more traditional unix/linux uses and users, you're absolutely right. Do you think the method you document is used by hosting companies as well?
