Uhm, no. They should be in the /etc/crontab file, in the /etc/cron.d
directory or in /var/spool/cron and named after the user who owns them.
Remember that the format of the commands in /etc/crontab or in the
/etc/cron.d directory are different than those in /var/spool/cron.
Ah poop!
I thought I was in /var/spool/cron but was actually
in /var/log/cron.
You think you see what you see.
Thank you for the help.

Yes I discovered the difference between /etc/cron.d and
/var/spool/cron format about a year ago. I did a bit
on head scratching at the time.
