Recover it from your backup tape. Older unixes I've used did not have -e, so I've become used to doing: crontab -l >/tmp/ct vi /tmp/ct crontab /tmp/ct Maybe that's a good thing. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
