Hmmm. I tried with a simple testscript which does nothing than a `touch testfile'.

The crontabs are stored in /var/cron/tabs/USERNAME For each user a file with his username. I really don't know which file is looked up first. Try with a little testscript, something like this: ================================================== #!/bin/sh DATE=`date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S"` touch /testcron.$DATE ================================================== Save it to /testcron.sh Add: * * * * * /bin/sh /testcron.sh to you crontab, $ cd / $ ls *testcron* testcron.sh* One minute later: $ ls *testcron* testcron.2002-01-07-12-34-01 testcron.sh* Two minutes later: $ ls *testcron* testcron.2002-01-07-12-34-01 testcron.2002-01-07-12-35-01 testcron.sh* And so on.
