Uhhhm, which of course is 200% identical to 2 6 * * 0,4 /usr/sbin/ntpdate ntp.public.otago.ac.nz It's not the script which fixed it, it's the /usr/sbin! Alternatively, you could set a decent path for all your cron jobs and be done with it: PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin 2 6 * * 0,4 ntpdate ntp.public.otago.ac.nz * * * * * more jobs here Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
