I have SUSE 10.0. I tried using the crontab and was successfully able to put in my periodic program. When I susbsequently try to edit the crontab for a user, the crontab file shows it is empty. Looking at the /tmp file, you can see the temporary crontab file, and it has the appropriate data in it. It seems that the crontab editor is picking the wrong file. It seems to work okay with a 32 bit version of the OS but the 64 bit operation is not functioning. Is there a new upgrade or an option I need to make the crontab command work properly? -- Joseph Loo jloo@acm.org

I'm using crontab on SUSE 10.0 with AMD64 (as a user) and it works without problems. I have set up the cron jobs with kcron but I don't see how that would matter. Olav
