I feel as tho I am somewhat cron-tarded. I just don't seem to get it......

Granted this might be because the desktop system I'm using to build the
el-cheapo monitor widget is running Slackware version 8..... but that
said....

On this system, the cron tabs are in /var/spool/cron/crontabs.

I created one for the user ID I am using to do the information gathering,
which looks like this

1-59/3 * * * *       cd /home/statmon ; status.sh  1> /dev/null 2>
/dev/null

and if I read this right, I needed to fire off crontab -u {userid} to make
it work...


but it doesn't.  The documentation I have is for SuSE, so the whole
cron.weekly, cron.daily doesn't seem to be there either.

If anyone can beat a clue through this extra thick cranium, I would be
delighted.
