Crons that run every minute

Sorry about the delay.
I didn't think about putting it in the syslog.conf! Actually now that
I think about it I should just break all the cron stuff out of the
messages log and into its own log file. That way I will still be
logging it, but not have it clogging up the main log.

Thanks
