Sorry, I should have mentioned I'm running Intrepid. Yet, since I'm
learning ten dozen other things, and I've learned how to use kcron, I am
somewhat reticent to ditch all of my kcron scripts just to learn another
CMD line version of what used to work just fine. 

Maybe I'm just getting my back up, but I'd really like to have kcron
back, so I can go about my other chores. I am just more lazy than
ignorant, since I've been around since the Slackware floppy install
days. I had kcron setup to work nicely and thought I'd mention it seems
lost in the shuffle. :) Ric
