I did that as well, and as jjj and as root, and all I found was the T- Mobile reminder. >If you know the file names, or part of them you can do either `locate ><filename>' or `sudo find / -name <filename>'. Names of what? I still haven't found where cron is storing the jobs. The cron man page is silent on the subject, and online I haven't found it mentioned yet. It's not /var/spool/cron; empty on both systems. And it's not in /etc/cron.d or any of the /etc/cron.<time> folders, because all they have is the standard default folders and files, all with old timestamps. Several GUI cron alternatives are mentioned on the net, but none seem to be in the Debian or Xubuntu repositories. I also haven't found a cron tutorial that is useful. I don't need instructions, I just need several pages of examples that I can crib from. Web 'tutorials' mostly just copy and paste man cron, which has zero examples. I'm just going to have to muddle through and rewrite them.
