Yes, but wouldn't it be easier to use the output from 'crontab -l' and install it with 'crontab' instead of having to use the commands of the editor aswell.. which i, don't know, perhaps change slightly from crontab version to version. This way of doing it works fine anyway. - gaute hope -- Fedora-config-list mailing list Fedora-config-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-config-list
