Re: Cron
Never edit the "crontab" files without the use of "crontab". "crontab" sends a signal to "cron" that the "crontab" file has changed so "cron" knows what to do. Most convinient (I use the vi editor): set the "EDITOR" variable to reflect the editor you want to use: In the Bourne shell: EDITOR=vi; export EDITOR In the csh: setenv EDITOR vi And then run "crontab -l", to see what you "crontab" file looks like. Run "crontab -e", to edit the "crontab" file Every user has it's own "crontab" file so make sure you login as the correct user. Sun recommends NOT to use "su" because the system can get confused. Be very carefull though with "crontab".

You don't need to kill and restart cron. The cron jobs are actually managed with crontab. Run 'man crontab' for more information. Myself, I like to put all my cron jobs into a text file, say, mycronjobs, then I submit them to cron thusly: crontab < mycronjobs Duc --- This list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by the Foxboro Company.
