I watched it with strace, and it seems that the crontab-program
doesn't get the new mtime-value from the filesystem: it makes 2
fstat64-calls, one before calling the editor and one after, but the
mtime hasn't changed:
4072 fstat64(6, {st_dev=makedev(0, 16), st_ino=18918,
st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_nlink=1, st_uid=0, st_gid=0, st_blksize=4096,
st_blocks=0, st_size=0, st_atime=2009/10/12-20:04:14,
st_mtime=2009/10/12-20:04:14, st_ctime=2009/10/12-20:04:14}) = 0
4072 fstat64(6, {st_dev=makedev(0, 16), st_ino=18918,
st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_nlink=0, st_uid=0, st_gid=0, st_blksize=4096,
st_blocks=0, st_size=0, st_atime=2009/10/12-20:04:22,
st_mtime=2009/10/12-20:04:14, st_ctime=2009/10/12-20:05:33}) = 0
atime und ctime have changed, mtime not, that's why it says:
crontab: no changes made to crontab
I wonder why it works for a non-root user, but I cannot strace that.
