No. Look at my cron, please:

01 01 * * * /var/qmail/bin/update_tmprsadh > /dev/null 2>&1
*/30 * * * * /var/qmail/bin/simscanmk -g >/dev/null 2>&1

That are the lines I have. So cron, discarded.

That's what I think! Really. I've always been secure with Linux. I've
never been hacked (till now, ehem...), I've never lost any piece of a
file, including at moments when my SuSE indeed required a
reinstallation, due to my continuing tests I do it; I've never deleted
any file in a unconscious way (sorry, I don't know how to say it
correctly)... SuSE was always really great. But this is incredible.

No. That's the reason why I never use scripts. Really. I'm not a
programmer. I adore Linux only. 
So what?

Hahaha.... yes, you're sharp. But politics and software must never be
mixed. If I see is SuSE the guilty of this case, I assure you I will
remove SuSE in my four computers at home, and I will install BSD or any
Linux distro. 

Thanks for your continously answering to my question and very serious
problem.
Alejandro.
