crontab -e is the crontab for the specific user in question (who you are logged as) ... while /etc/crontab is the "system" crontab.
i noticed something now. i setup a cron job with crontab -e on a local machine and things work fine. i logged into a remote machine with SSH and also setup the same job with crontab -e and things dont work
what could be the cause ? could the reason be related to the difference between crontab -e and /etc/crontab ?
i would love to read on this
