Hi,

Earlier today I asked a novice question about how to get cron to stop
bothering me about jobs which no longer exist in the crontab file.

It turns out that one cannot go in and modify the crontab file by
hand - one must edit the file invoking crontab -e, which automatically
tells cron that changes have been made. Otherwise the only alternative
is to kill and manually restart the cron daemon.

Very quick, very simple.

Thank you all once again!

Mike
