In RedHat/CentOS, this file is here: /var/spool/cron/root But you should not write to it directly, instead you should run the "crontab -e" command as root. See "man 1 crontab". This command is also distribution-agnostic, so it will work even on other distributions. > Nor does /etc/crontab. Yes it does. It is a file. Could you check this again on your system? If it really does not exist, do you have the "crontabs" RPM installed? If you don't, maybe something went wrong with your system's installation. > Heck I remember that from the > "old days", now there are lots of cron entries, in /etc but no crontab. > Not installed by default. So, I'm hunting that one down. Nate, what did > you wind up doing?? Ric Check again, because so far I've never seen a system without an /etc/crontab. HTH, Filipe
