I think that this, or something similar, is in the end, the right solution. Ideally, I think this should be handled like the menu package. /etc/crontab would be augmented to have something like: # ==== BEGIN AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED SECTION -- DO NOT EDIT ==== # # ==== END AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED SECTION -- DO NOT EDIT ==== # Then each package would just have a file in /usr/lib/cron/auto (or whatever) which would be used to (re)build the contents of this section whenever a relevant package was installed. -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint = E8 0E 0D 04 F5 21 A0 94 53 2B 97 F5 D6 4E 39 30 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
