:-) There are quite a few strange things that they have introduced -- along with some very *nice* things, like zfs (man zvf & zpool). A lot easier to use than the meta* way to do software RAID on the Suns.

I had c crontab path-to-file
and it copied it into the crontab (where it had been before), but now it admitted that it existed. :-)
Interestingly enough, I keep an account with the same UID and GID as root, but with a different shell by default, and when I try
crontab -l username
I get:
crontab: you must be super-user to access another user's crontab file
and if I su to root, I *still* get that. :-)
Well ... I've found that I can use crontab to disable a user's crontab by simply commenting out the active lines. Not sure whether you could set EDITOR to sed and use that, but it is worth a try.

I must admit that the unix in a pocket is about the only reason that *I* would consider getting an iphone -- and it wouldn't even need to make phone calls. :-) I'm still using a B&W cell phone that just barely knows how to do texting -- and I don't even use it for that -- just for the occasional phone call. (And somehow, it seems to have gotten onto someone's list of fax numbers, so it tends to get several calls a month before I wake up -- no number in the caller ID, and only rarely have I been awake and out here where the phone lives in its charger when a call came in, which is how I know that they think that it is a fax.
Enjoy, DoN.
P.S. The newsgroup is pretty quiet for the moment, with everybody hiding from the sporge flood. :-)
