Great! Thanks. To ask if I can insure there are no
syntax errors is a tall order, but actually, in this case, it
involved commenting out a couple of lines that normally run and
uncommenting a couple that are there for vacation mode and
normally just take up space in the file.
That does give me another idea, though. You could use
crontab -e to proof the changes, save that file and then crontab
-e again to put things back the way they were until you are ready
for at to do its work. Again, thank you.
