I'm running OS X 10.4.8 on a 12" iBook G4.
I'm getting some strange-looking errors in the console log, stating that cron is an unknown service:
Nov 10 08:32:26 M41 SystemStarter[3609]: Unknown service: Cron
Nov 10 08:32:27 M41 SystemStarter[3612]: Unknown service: Cron
I edited the crontab recently to get rid of all my symantec cron jobs since the Norton Antivirus uninstaller doesn't see the need to do that on its own. All I have left are two lines for clamXav jobs, plus about 10 or so blank lines before them.
If I do an crontab -l this is what I get (yes, the blank lines are included on purpose and there are only two jobs in the table):
0 10 * * 2 /usr/local/clamXav/bin/clamscan -r --log="/Users/username/Library/Logs/clamXav-scan.log" --mbox "/Users/username/Documents/Chamber"
45 8 * * 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 /usr/local/clamXav/bin/freshclam --quiet --log="/usr/local/clamXav/share/clamav/freshclam.log"

(a) How do I get rid of the blank lines? I'm not well-versed in vim and the keystrokes that the man pages list for deleting lines doesn't seem to work. If I can edit the file with TextEdit I'd be much happier
(b) What's up with the cron as an unknown service error? I'm a Unix novice but these errors don't seem right to me.
