into the script, usually in a folder called "/backups" ... :)
It allows me to test the scripts as well, or change the logic without
modifying the crontab.

WHen I try to set anything other than strict crontab entries cron
refuses my edited crontab. Things like PATH or mailto, any kind of
var=value will cause it to be rejected.
