To edit my own crontab, I type crontab -e, which opens my crontab in vim (default editor here). The file contains numerous lines like this
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (- installed on Sun Aug 14 14:29:06 2016) # (Cronie version 4.2)
but when write and close the file (:wq), I get this
10:11 bob@hexagon:~> crontab -e crontab: installing new crontab
which is what I expect and not alarming. Why all the repeated warnings in the file itself?
If I do cat /var/spool/cron/tabs/<my_username> I see these warnings. If I call "crontab -l", I see them, too. If I call "crontab -e" I don't so everything is as expected. Maybe by mistake you somehow listed the file and wrote the full content with "crontab -e"? Then maybe it even shows you these warnings twice? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
