List,
I know this can be done, but it escapes me how to do it.
I wanted to execute a user crontab this afternoon that normally runs
daily first thing in the morning. Nothing seems to work. And somehow
most manuals seem to live it unsaid, you must innately know how to do
this.
Tips?
Thanks,

where I can say in effect, Hey Cron, i know that user's crontab is set
do something at this time, but do it now.
Can't you just reset the time to something
You need a different tool. Crontabs, by definition, specify tasks to
runat certain times. You can't run this morning's crontab this
afternoon. The crontabs are constantly monitored, and when a task
becomes due, it's executed.
One approach is to edit the crontab, copying the morning line(s)
