That's not supposed to happen. If I were you, I'd try - running crontab -l immediately after crontab -e to make sure that the line was really added, - using hexdump or xxd or some such to verify that the last line of /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root really end with a newline, - running ls -cl /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root to know exactly when it was changed. - refraining from top-posting, no matter how tempting. :-) -- André Majorel <http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/> lists.debian.org, food for your spambots. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
