Unfortunately I can't help you learn how to edit files remotely....you have to know how to edit a file and have the edits save. I'd agree with the other followup - you don't need to run top as root so you could get the same stuff via user 'pi' or whatever user you typically use. So it would be the same stanza, just saving to /home/pi (if you're user 'pi') or the like. But I'd sure expect 'sudo crontab -e' would work. Maybe 'sudo crontab -e -u root' if you want to be explicit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
