Re: Debian - cron execution order

top-down matching on those applicable to the current date/time. If it is 00:00 on July 05, 2009 then:

scriptblablabla1 will execute followed by scriptblahblabla2

Thanks. I had a feeling it was by alphabetical order...

 Not alphabetical, top-down based on the ordering in the respect crontab.

A note to the FreeBSD regarding general Cron behavior states that there is no determination of order for same time cron jobs.

That makes sense, considering the granularity available to you for scheduling. There are better ways than alpha-numeric sorting to order operations in cron.
