When you say you made a change with emacs, what command did you run?

 emacs /etc/crontab

What you are supposed to do is use the command crontab to start the
editor of your choice.

I rediscovered command EDITOR=emacs crontab -e and made my changes. Command crontab -l shows the updated file. I'm waiting to see the result.

Thanks for reminding me.  Roger
