Help with crontab

[drmike]

Morning again,

I'm trying to edit the master copy of crontab to add an entry. From the command prompt and as root, I'm doing a "crontab -e" and "crontab -u root -e" but it's only giving me a crontab file that is found in the /tmp directory, not the master one so when I try to save it, its going to tmp, not the real one.

Any ideas? Never seen this before....

thanks,

I got it. Never mind. I wasn't doing a restart of cron with a /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond restart. After that, i was fine.

thanks,
