Hello gentoo-user,

  Can someone please tell me how to set up a cron job? I've been reading
  about it all day but can't get it to work.

  I want to download a jpg at 10 past the hour every three hours. I tried
  this in /etc/crontab but it won't work.

10 15 * * *  wget -q 
http://www.wizabit.eclipse.co.uk/xplanet/files/local/clouds_2000.jpg > 
/usr/share/xplanet/images/clouds_2000.jpg

I know it's just for 15:10 but it still don't work.
