I'm not exactly sure why you want to do that - the five asterisks mean run this command every minute of every day. > PS. I'm sure the PATH is setup properly in my cron, so cron can find ps & > grep. cron runs in a restricted environment and doesn't (to my knowledge) source $PATH from anywhere, so you need to explicitly add the paths (i.e., /usr/bin/cdrecord) or run a shell script that sets those & then runs your command. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
