I did a dumb one, from root issued "crontab -r" :( Had too many ssh windows up and got confused. This was a recent install of SLES 8 for AMD64. I had made not crontab entries for root myself. I have configured Apache, email and so on. Did I lose anything? If so how can I recover? Here's what I think is relevant listing: kingfish:/etc # crontab -l no crontab for root kingfish:/etc # ls cron* crontab crontab.old cron.d: . .. evlogmgr seccheck sysstat cron.daily: . logrotate suse.de-clean-tmp .. suse.de-backup-rc.config suse.de-clean-vi clean_catman suse.de-backup-rpmdb suse.de-cron-local do_mandb suse.de-check-battery cron.hourly: . .. cron.monthly: . .. cron.weekly: . .. kingfish:/etc # Thank you - Richard
