I searched bugzilla for authorized contribs and sme-crontab_manager is not one of them. (sme-crontab_manager-1.2-4.noarch.rpm installed)
Currently testing 3 servers with SME 7.3 one which has no updates. The contrib works fine on this server.
When updates are complete there is a line which appears at boot and in the logs - and if the contrib is uninstalled and reinstalled the same message comes
up after installation in the terminal window. The server manager panel does not display correctly until the contrib has been uninstalled.
not well-formed (invalid token) at line 14, column 59, byte 369 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm line 187
smeserver trap post-install: sme-crontab_manager
Currently testing crontab manager for ddns functionality
Will be glad to post in bug tracker - this is to make others aware updating could cause this problem if the contrib is installed.

This is most likely due to the mentined contrib not having UTF8 locale encoding: http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4135
And should not really be any problem at all.

Well, if your idea of a good time means having more than half of your server-manager entries listed under the heading of "unknown" life is grand.
And since this was the first item found with unhappy results the contrib was removed before any further testing could take place.
Maybe this could very well be user error since the contrib was installed with
yum localinstall sme-crontab_manager
instead of the suggested method from the how-to
rpm -e sme-crontab_manager
Any thoughs?

I think you are misunderstanding things here, the first is for installation of a RPM on your file system, the second is the command to remove a installed RPM.
Installation from a repository using yum install and from a the file system using yum localinstall should not make any difference in any other aspect than the RPM being available after download or directly on the FS.

Any thoughs?
Did you also try to update your contribs against the SME Contribs repository using:
yum update --enablerepo=smecontribs
-
Method of install will not make any difference.
sme-crontab_manager is listed here http://wiki.contribs.org/Translations#Outdated_contribs
as not updated to the UTF8 translation format. Until it is updated you will either have to do without it or use it with the unsorted server-manager menu.
The contribs are functional but the menu is ugly.

Both you guys are a hoot!....LOL
I apologize - copied the wrong code to put in the post..... :shock:
I should have put the rpm install command in instead of the rpm remove - oops!
Since I saw a current how-to in the wiki for crontab I didn't even think to look at the list
of outdated contribs.......twice oops!
However, have not tried the
yum update --enablerepo=smecontribs
Will give it a go and report back.....thanks gents!

By running the yum update enabling the repo contribs brings a step in the right direction - for at least one server
Now the crontab manager is the only thing showing as "unknown" in the server manager on server 1 which has now received it's updates.
Server 2 which had updates installed is not effected by updating or through removal and reinstall
Big ARGH!

Than you most likely have some other nog UTF8 enabled contribs installed. Look at the Translation page in the wiki, there are some clues there. A search in the forums would have also brought you a lot of information as since April 19th, the day of the release, a lot has been written about the update here.

Cactus,
U R Awsome!
Thank you and yes I have seen some of the posts reference the April 19th update.
Just haven't spent enough time searching and reading.......

I have make a script that change the language files to UTF-8.
The script don't touch files, they are allways in UTF-8 and you don't must uninstall your contribs.

I think most of the people reading this don't understand German. So here is a short English How-To in the wiki:
