Well, this is a surprise. I upgraded from 10.4.11 (server) to 10.5 and then 10.5.1. I have tabs in /var/cron/tabs and duplicates in /usr/lib/cron/tabs, really /var/at/tabs. OK, now I know where things are. But ... cron is running jobs only for me (the administrator) and is ignoring other users. And, yes, the files at.deny and cron.deny in /var/at are empty. Any ideas how to make cron behave?

How to make cron behave? Know what you are doing when you touch it... (and even then, don't touch it)

Depends on what you need to achieve.

Call fetchmail every few minutes. Invoke backups daily, weekly, monthly. That kind of stuff.

Hm, then cron ... Or OnyX allows you to add stuff to periodic if I remember correctly. (and run it anytime)
