Larry,
Thanks for the suggestion about just doing the reinit thing!!!
After I make my changes using "crontab -e", I then type in
/etc/rc0.d/k11cron restart
This then restarts the cron process and the changes made to the newly
saved crontab file are then executed at the correct times.
Regards,
-Dave
