Re: cron on Win9x works
I read it again, but I am not sure I understand it. The hack proposed
by BB him/herself
rm -R -f /var/cron/tabs.sav
cp -R /var/cron/tabs /var/cron/tabs.sav
rm -R -f /var/cron/tabs
mv /var/cron/tabs.sav /var/cron/tabs
doesn't work here. Cron still skips tasks. I also tried touch'ing the
tab file, but it didn't work either. Elusive.
