Speaking of cron where can I track down this error? I checked
/etc/cron.daily and it's not there. Where else should I look?

error: syslog:114 duplicate log entry for /var/log/syslog

It was Nov 6, 2000, 00:20, when KompuKit keyboarded:

man cron
man crontab
man 5 crontab

That is how I learnt. These man pages are quite understandable.

Btw, the 12 o'clock stuff is the system cron, stuff that is executed
located in /etc/cron.daily.
