Just as you said: the former is the system crontab, the latter is the root user's crontab. The former has an extra field that indicates which user to run a command as, the latter is exactly the same as any other user's crontab (and is stored in /var/cron/tabs just all the other user crontabs). I'm not quite sure what your confusion is: did my previous paragraph eliminate it? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

In /var/cron/tabs you have a file named root for root crontab. -- Renato Botelho ICQ: 54596223 AIM: RBGargaBR ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
