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.

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.
