It seems that crontab uses the version just before the last save. I noticed this when I ran the crontab every five minute then changed it to once an hour. The cron kept using my old crontab for 24 hours... which ment my hotmail account got over 1100 message (part of the once every 5 minutes crontab). To have the crontab work right... save your crontab twice. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
