ok, I gave up and looked up crontab + script in the
marc.theaimsgroup.com archive: 4th and 11th hit are posts by me
solving the problem you were pondering for two weeks now:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-questions&m=103821843025544&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-questions&m=103466227918347&w=2
this is exactly what you need to do (I have told you to look at the
archives), so please, do it.
*stop* fucking up with the permissions on system directories, you'll
regret it later.
also, this problem has nothing to do with python, so don't abuse
inappropriate mailing lists.
