Any good reason not to use separate files in /etc/cron.d or are you updating user crontabs?
Yes it's user crontabs, although as Mike points out that might be the wrong approach.
The reason for using user crontabs is historical; if I switch to cron.d there's a risk that I'll get duplication (someone will "crontab -e" and seeing things "missing" add them) but I can probably work around that, if nothing else it would be relatively easy to insert a comment to that effect in the user crontab (single line, much easier to grep for and insert if missing).
Food for thought there, I think this is probably the "right" way to go.... -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0844 251 1450 Registered in England (0456 0902) 21 Drakes Mews, Milton Keynes, MK8 0ER _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list Peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
