in thread Cron on Mac OS X

Okay, I've tried the command that you suggested and this is what I got.

root 6217 0.0 0.0 76480 656 ?? Ss Fri12PM 0:00.06 + /usr/sbin/cron myname 7219 0.0 0.0 75960 340 s000 R+ 11:36AM 0:00.00 +grep cron

I apologize for being so UNIX wimpy. I'm not sure, exactly, what this is telling me.

    The first line is telling you that cron is indeed running. (The second is telling you that you were looking for the first line, and can be ignored.) That makes it very strange that you should not be getting any response when crontab -l admits that it knows about your crontab file.
