It's so much easier to see | what's going on when you use a proper "if"...) Except if that if /usr/sbin/sendmail.exe did exist in the first place (not a dangling link) then cronlog would not have been linked, for the same reason: [ -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -o -e /usr/sbin/sendmail.exe ] and thus the rm -f would not do anything except possibly remove a dangling symlink. I still don't understand what happened.
