Post subject:  accidentally deleted root crontab
By accident (I thought I was "reloading") I accidentally deleted the crontab for the "root" user. Would someone be kind enough to post what was in there from the default installation (I'm running R5A16). Thanks

Isn't it empty?

The only thing i have in mine is ntpdate to sync the clock, and I put it there :)

Well its empty now, that's my problem :D I don't know if there was anything in there before (my ntpdate is somewhere else).

well the question would be did you delete the root crontab or the sytem crontab? I think root crontab is empty, but the system crontab is not.(on default install.)

I deleted the "user" crontab when I was logged in as root. If the system one has daily/weekly/monthly stuff than I am sure I did NOT delete that one

Logging in as root, "crontab -l" will let you see the root crontab right? So, how do you view the system crontab?
