Thanks for the explanation! Now, is there any way to make sure anacron runs the stuff in this files (which is in /var/spool/cron) ? Anacron happily runs thew "default" cron jobs, which are executable scripts in directories listed in /etc/crontab, but it doesn't look at the user ones at all. thanks, eric -- Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
