Ignore my previous reply, whatever I was on, it had insufficient caffeine :( cron.d does indeed work here, provided the lines have exactly the same format as in crontab; e.g. "tail -n 1 /etc/crontab >/etc/cron.d/test" works as it should. Are you setting the execute bit on the files in cron.d? In the past, I've found that this prevents their being run. -- Neil Bothwick Like Entropy, bugs can only be created, not destroyed.
