They're started by cron itself. From 'man cron': cron also reads /etc/crontab, which is in a slightly dif ferent format (see crontab(5)). Additionally, cron reads the files in /etc/cron.d; see the DEBIAN SPECIFIC section below for more details. They're crontab files, which means that they contain the information that cron uses to decide how often to run them. > - Debian 2.1 Linux / 2.2.9 / qmail - I had some trouble with 2.2.9. You should probably upgrade to 2.2.10 (which has a good reputation) or 2.2.13 (the latest stable kernel). -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody."
