Chip Rosenthal wisely pointed out that since cron starts before the
file systems are mounted, my above solution won't work. He suggests
either to hack /etc/rc.d to reverse the order (and neither he nor
I recommend doing this) or pick some lower directory than /usr/spool
(/usr/spool/news) and make _that_ the mounted file system.
Why is putting the cron startup after the filesystems mount bad? I've
had mine this way for over a year, and haven't had any difficulty at
all with it.
Inquiring minds and all that rot...
