sorry, i should have specified my question:
what my actusal problem is, that i don't have a clue about the syntax in
the crontabs, and even in the man pages of the crontabs, it doesn't say
anything about the syntax in there. it just gives a few options for
running thre crnontabs command.
is there somplace i can get some info about the syntax of the crontabs?
i amsure it can't be that complicated. maybe someone can give a brief
overview or maybe even send me a cron how to since i didn't manage to
find it.
thnx
marco
