Of course not. /etc/crontab is ugly leftover cruft from old days some guys have been insisting on. IMHO, it should be removed (and i'm actually removing it as soon as i've been installing a new system). You have to choose between the /etc/crontab format (multiple users in a single file), or crontab(1/5). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
