- Reply-to: "Elfyn McBratney" <elfyn at exposure dot org dot uk>
Hi,
I have cron installed as a service and it works fine, the only thing that
does'nt work is the crontab editory `crontab -e`. If i want to install the
new crontab i have to cp or mv it to the tabs dir which is quite annoying
because im working on a system crontab that keeps on changing.
I have installed the snapshots from yesterday '20020625' and today
'20020626' but they don't fix the problems with crontab.
Here's all my sysinfo:
