RE: [cobalt-users] RE: crontab error



Thanks to all who replied, I have restored my crontab files to a working
state - I waited until the overnight jobs completed successfully one time
before posting this, just so I'm sure.

As had been suggested, the main problem was that I had duplicated the system
crontab in root's crontab.  Now that the panic is over and I can think
clearly about it, I even remember typing "crontab crontab".

All that remains is for me to confirm the proper way of modifying the SYSTEM
CRONTAB.  Is it best to:

1) edit /etc/crontab,
2) edit /etc/crontab.master and copy it to /etc/crontab

or is there another way that I haven't found?

Thanks again,

Cavan Kelly
