Heh...thanks....unfortunately, I have to be at work by 8:30 am, and
to do so, I need about an hour to wake up and eat breakfast...then
about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to get ready for work, then the drive to
work (averages about 30-45 minutes) so, you can see I really DO need
to get up that early. :-)
On a more serious note, I did like you (and a couple others)
suggested -- crontab -e and up came the cron entry I'd TRIED to
create earlier. Now, after Axalon explained how to (temporarily)
specify my preferred editor I was able to use crontab -e. :-)
Thanks to all! (I now plan on editing my .bashrc and .bash_profile to
specify joe as my editor!!! <G>)
