Don't feel like the lone stranger Brian.  Somebody really *should* 
write a book on howto use cron.  No denigration of Paul Vixie 
intended, but the docs (what there is) suck.  But I guess thats 
what we get when a usefull utility gets into the habit because 
nothing else does the job quite as elegantly, particularly one 
written back in jurrasic computer times and which is probably old 
enough to by a drink in any state in the union.  I think it was in 
1986 that I overhauled somebodies broken port to os9 for the trs-80 
color computer running os9.  Made it work just fine, but it was old 
and well entrenched in the *nix field then!
