Depends on what you mean. Assuming crond is running on your system (it usually will be, with out-of-the-box installs of the major distros), the usual way, on modern Linux systems at least, is for a user to create his or her list of cron jobs using the command "crontab -e". The man page for the crontab *file* (not the *app* -- access it with "man 5 crontab") will tell you the format needed. -- -------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
