to set your crontab:
1. logon to root
2. type csh ('C' shell)
3. crontab -e
After 3, you should be in crontab... Then set you your jobs ... then exit
with save ( :wq! )

Subject: Setting a Cron Job
Hey there. I have a few scripts I'd like to set crontabs for (I already
have one with the machine-update script from http://counter.li.org/, but
the script set that automatically). I've read man crontab and crontab
-help and even tried to manually edit with crontab -e but I haven't a
clue on how to get to edit mode (the default mode is read only!). I've
also just cried 'crontab command options-for-command' and got no where
(the script I wanted to run required options to be declared and one of
the options for the script is -c which is where crontab got stuck on, I
can provide output if requested). If I can start setting crontabs, a lot
of what I do manually could automatically be done without me having to
worry about it (which would be oh so welcome).
