However if the secretary leaves the software running but doing nothing

Next, I edit the crontab with "vi" using a console session and I save it without doing modification. The crontab works perfectly now ! ? I have

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

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 seem to have a problem with crontab. I am running CentOS 5.5. If I add my bakup scripts into crontab they take very long to run. If I run my scripts manually they run 100%.

Every day I see this in chkrootkit's log - Checking `crontab'... Warning: crontab for nobody found, possible Lupper.Worm... not infected I know I met this once before, but I can't remember whether there is any cure for it.

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
