Thanx for all the responses, the general opinion was that the 'O' was
nothing but a way of saving files which was probably used by an earlier
admin.
The only extraordinary thing I notcied was that the cron was using the olog
file as its log file instead of the log file.
This might be a setting defined for the cron log, if anyone knows where to
define it, I would be glad to hear it.
