I tried to look at it with vim, and less, it was empty in vim (which also
claimed it was a new file) so I quit, less said it didn't exist, so I
touched it. And when I was done with kcron, it apparently wrote what you
saw, I did not edit it, I just included it in my message.
Does the default /etc/crontab claim it was written with kcron? This one
did as you saw, but clipped from your reply. I really don't know, hence
the seemingly stupid question.
Thanks Gordon.
