What are some of the things that you are using cron to do? I used to use a similar DOS based program, same name, eons ago when I ran a BBS. In the middle of the night I had it start up and run maintenence for the online games, delete old local e-mail messages, get/sort/unpack FidoNet mail for the BBS, and assorted other things.
I'm just wondering, as a Linux/Debian newbie some of the things that cron can do on my system. I'm drawing a blank right now so maybe if I hear from some others how, and what they use cron it'll spark something. -- James R.
