(SuSE 9.1, Gnome 2.4, kernal 2.6.5-7.108-default) I used kcron to set up a nightly backup but it doesn't work. I've run the crontab entry manually and the command works ok. The SuSE manual says that crontab is now located in /var/cron but that directory doesn't exist. Kcron, as it turns out, is saving the crontab in the /etc directory. An obvious solution is to create /var/cron and then move crontab from the /etc directory to /var/cron. My CLI skills are pretty weak so I would like someone to confirm that the "obvious solution" is the correct thing to do. Any assistance here will be appreciated. -- Donald D.
