My policy (which I wouldn't call proper) is to put local cron stuff in a file in /etc/cron.d using an uncommon name to avoid possble name collisions. Means I only have one place to look for local cron jobs. I leave /etc/crontab and /etc/cron.daily, etc, for the OS. I avoid user crontabs, too, I always forget about them. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
