$ crontab -e
allows a user to create/edit their own crontab.

Hi!
I've been getting this on anacron for several days. Tried to re-install htdig
package but still getting this:
> /etc/cron.daily/htdig:
> DB2 problem...: missing or empty key value specified
Since I'm a relative newbie with no programming skills (sigh!) can anyone tell

I re-installed fileutils and shellutils since I was getting error messages
about not finding "du" and "id" as well.
Seems to be working just fine.
Thanks for the suggestions.

You suggested I didn't have textutils installed: both apt-get & dselect say
the "newest version" is installed. (textutils-2.01).
Generally system is ok but the most recent update of gpm, message error says
"id" not found. Whatever is missing/not linked is elusive.

Your system doesn't have the "textutils" package installed, which is weird
as it's a required/essential p

I wouldn't particuarly recomend removing cron. Most of t
anacron came with bo. (the next distribution, currently beta)
search in frozen/binary-i386/admin
I don't verify because I got kernel problems. But you should find it there.
