Is there a known problem with /etc/cron under 4.3BSD?? On our system (11/750) it simply ignores about half the lines in crontab. Reordering the file does'nt change anything so the problem must (?!?!?) be somewhere else. (This file worked fine under 4.2) Lindsay lindsay@cheviot.uucp lindsay%cheviot.ncl@ucl-cs.arpa

I don't know if this is related but in Ultrix's crontab, I had to supply absolute pathnames for some of the commands (even though they were in the standard places like "/bin", "/usr/bin", "/etc" and "/usr/ucb") to get them to work.
