I've been using linux for several years and never caught that :-)  I had read 
man:cron - but that was just cron1.  It wasn't until you message made me 
realise that I was missing an entry that it all made sense.

I was expecting the change I made to come into effect yesterday teatime, but 
maybe the user wasn't around then.  Hopefully I'll see the result today.

Thanks for the help
