Thanks to all who replied-
I am running a netra which has a few subtle differences that a lot of sun
boxes so the problem may have been due to that. I also (probably) forgot to
send the restart signal to cron (oops...).
Here is one solution that worked for me. I got this froma few users...
as root do the following (preferably in a temp dir or somewhere not critical)
# crontab -l >root.crontab (yes the -l worked but not the -e for some reason)
# vi root.crontab (Then make the edits you want)
# crontab root.crontab (the crontab command will take care of the
restart signal for you and warn of any
editing booboos
you may have made)
Then you can do a
# rm root.crontab (a clean filesystem is a happy filesystem!)
Thanks again to the following - in no particular order
