Hey, Corinna. It certainly made a difference. Cron actually ran a task in my system (Win 98) for the first time! Actually, several times.
I still have that problem with the timestamp, so editing my crontabs in a file and running `crontab file.txt` won't work, but if I edit the tabs with Vi or Pico :-( it works. Great! Don't you think it would be better if cron -D disconnected from the controlling terminal, like Exim? It is a daemon, after all...
