I want to be able to update a user's crontab from a script. tabs in /var/cron/tabs carry a warning that the file should not be edited directly, so presumably something like
#echo "5 * * * * /some/script.sh" >> /var/cron/tabs/$USER is the wrong approach. Is the right approach: #cat ~/.mycrontab 5 * * * * /some/script.sh #crontab ~/.mycrontab The right way to go? I notice this approach blows away existing crontab entries, and was hoping to be able to append new ones instead, but then by treating ~/.mycrontab as the master file, I can manage this OK. TIA.
