hiya, cron jobs are also/actually? stored in /var/spool/cron/*, have you looked in there? i'm not familiar with how cron runs on debian, but on systems that strictly use /var/spool/cron, cron doesn't notice if you change the textfile without telling it (which is why the manpage says to edit crontabs with crontab -e). also, have you tried /etc/init.d/cron reload? hth --sean On Sun, Nov 17, 2002 at 09:26:49PM +1100, Tim Barker wrote: > I have a problem changing a Cron script.
