Hi, I'm David - been on the list a awhile and read a lot but not answered or been able to help a lot - yes, still learning ... after some time!
Anyway, I would like to ask, firstly, I have a cron job file that I have added to /etc/cron.d/ It uses files I have in my home folder, but which are symlinked in /usr/local/bin/. Is there a 'good, bad or ugly' reason why I shouldn't symlink my cron file also? i.e. a symlink in /etc/cron.d/ to /home/david/my-cron-jobs/filename ? It would make changes to the cron jobs very much easier. Otherwise I have to either place a copy there or run another cron job to keep my cron files up to date (the originals are in my home folder). Secondly - can I replace via copy (cp) a file while the target file is open? If so, I can't find the switch to do it. Many thanks.
