Hi,

[ apologies about this not really being directly related to python 
mac... ]

I am trying ro use an @reboot cron job to start an svn server (used for 
python development ;) with each
restart (of a Panther G5 powermac). I have edited the file 
/etc/crontab, adding the line:

@reboot svnserve -d -r /var/svn

but, after restart, there is no svn server daemon running:

$ ps -aux | grep svn
xxxxx    449   0.0  0.0    18172    336 std  S+   11:03AM   0:00.01 
grep svn
$

Cannot tell where the problem is... The system.log contains the 
following potentially relevant lines:
May 27 10:47:15 localhost SystemStarter: Initializing network
May 27 10:47:15 localhost cron[176]: (*system*) PARSE (bad username)

Any ideas?

Thanks, mario
