When I did 'crontab /root/crontab' it created the file 
/var/spool/cron/root which contains the stuff from /root/crontab. But is 
there any to be certain the stuff from /etc/crontab is still waiting to 
execute?

Thought I remembered there was some way to get cron to dump its innards, 
but can't find it now.

Appears I have Vixie cron on this RH9 box.
