Once an hour? Okay, here we go. 1) In your home directory, or somewhere abouts, make a file called "mycronjobs" or something similar that will easily remind you of what it is. It's in this file that you'll put all your cron jobs.
2) In the file, pun one line as follows: 00 * * * * /path/to/script 3) Back in the shell, type the following: crontab mycronjobs <Enter> And you're done. In the future, if you want to add jobs, add them to this file, the update the cron table with "crontab mycronjobs". ----------------------------------------------------------- It's extremely easy to use. They go like this 00-59 Minute 00-23 Hour 01-31 Day's date 01-12 Month 01-07 Day (Monday, etc.) If you want a specific time or day, then use the numbers, and use an asterisk for any specifics that don't matter. In the example I gave, 00 * * * *, it will execute the script on the hour (00), every hour (*), of any date (*), of every month (*), regardless of the day of the week (*). Miark
