Probably because the main motivation for /etc/cron.<interval>, as I understand it, is to make it possible to include crontab fragments in packages, and it seems rare for a package to want an hourly crontab. Certainly it has benefits for users as well, but users can always use /etc/crontab or 'crontab -e'; packages have to have separate files. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
