Hi there fellow hackers, geeks and others who want the UNIX desktop to succeed. I bring forward the question whether or not a (freedesktop.org) specification is necessary for application scheduling software. The current UNIX Desktop user does not have an easy way to configure the tasks which he wants to schedule. Sure we have such a utility. And sure we can shout to our Desktop users

hi, How can I open crontab with gedit any any other editor ? i want to edit my cron jobs with other editors beside vi.

The docs to installing cfengine refers to /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root That doesn't exist. Nor does /etc/crontab. Heck I remember that from the "old days", now there are lots of cron entries, in /etc but no crontab. Not installed by default. So, I'm hunting that one down. Nate, what did you wind up doing??

Hi, I have to setup a scheduled task on a server, and I just read through some crontab docs. Now I'm confused. It's not so much the syntax of the cron job to define (I got that), it's more... how do I get to define it? Use a text editor (vi or the likes) to edit /etc/crontab directly? Or create some empty file in /etc/cron.daily or /etc/cron.hourly or the likes and then edit it

Hi, I have a issue with OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 and crontab (solaris 8). The crontab will not execute correctly the commands if I edit it by using OpenSSH. client (Solaris 8 / Openssh 3.7.1p2) ---> server (Solaris 8 / Openssh 3.7.1p2).

I have a crontab for Nobody. I tried to delete it in a root kcron, which I'm sure is how I dealt with this in the past, but it seems impossible to delete.
