[Koha-patches] [PATCH] Revert "Updates to the example crontab"

This reverts commit def09f5a21b47431ff107d9a530900cd5a4fb93d.

As I emailed to the patches list Oct 06, 2008:

I suggest we need to revert Josh' commit def09f5a21b47431ff107d9a530900cd5a4fb93d.

The effect on the crontab example is to invalidate the lines being executed.  The lines were apparently copied in from a cron source, not crontab, despite the header describing it NOT being an example for cron.  It also runs longoverdue twice, instead of fines.pl.
