I avoid -e for the simple reason that I really like having my crontab documented in a file that is under source control.

Indeed. You may have converted me just by saying it. I started putting my own utility scripts and such for various sites, checks, updates into revision control only recently. I've long done it for lib files but a month or two ago started getting all the incidentals I take for granted, like crontabs, in there too. Never again will a trashed hard drive cost me more than the money to replace it and the time to restore it.	[reply]
