That's odd, actually - I'd expect to see that from "sudo cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/username" but "crontab -l" normally filters all that header material. Is it possible you've ended up with duplicate headers? Compare the DEBIAN SPECIFIC section in "man crontab". -- Justin B Rye - writing from but not for Datacash Ltd
