No. crond normally looks at the system crontab /etc/crontab and all the user crontabs in /var/spool/cron/* (or in Mac OS X 10.6 at least, /usr/lib/cron/tabs/*). It doesn't look at /usr/share/mailman/cron/crontab.in which is the input intended to be installed in /usr/lib/cron/tabs/ by a command like crontab -u _mailman /usr/share/mailman/cron/crontab.in (assuming the Mailman user is _mailman). See 'man crontab' and 'man cron'. Since Mailman's cron jobs used to run, I suspect the issue is that crond is not running on your server. It's either that or Mailman's crontab has gone missing. If crontab -u_mailman -l shows Mailman's crontab, then crond is not running. How to fix that is a Mac OS X question. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
