Thank you for replying.  I was beginning to think this was too trivial
for people to be bothered with..  :-)

Tried that now.  (commented the entries out then in again)

Seems to have worked, too.  At least the logs say that daily hasn't been
run yet. (now at 6:20)  We'll know for sure in a couple of hours.

I had been holding off doing that, just in case.  Seems kind of stupid
now that I think about it - it isn't exactly hard making another change
and watching what happens.  (Damn, that sentence doesn't look right..)


So the manpage is simply incorrect then?  Obviously cron doesn't check for
modifications every minute.
