Yeah, both distros have /etc/cron/daily folders, which is where both cron jobs should be; they ran daily only. Most of the files are identical between the two distros. None have my name on them or anything that looks like it might be something that I produced. On Xubuntu I originally had 20.04, then 22.04, so if the timestamp on a file is before 2020 it couldn't be mine. But here's something that makes no sense: In the cron/daily folder for Xubuntu there is a file 'brave-browser ... 9.27.2023.' WTH? The last time I booted to Xubuntu was a week ago, for only a couple of hours, and the OS hasn't been run since. My gast is flabbered. The cron jobs were just one-liners in crontab, so an easier way to deal with this would be to boot to Xubuntu, run crontab -e, copy the jobs to a small text file somewhere accessible, then reboot to Sparky and paste them into Sparky's crontab-e.
