No, it must be crontab.
cron.daily is for generic "make sure it runs at least once a day", with no
specific time.
crontab is where the crontab(8) format entries with specific times and
users etc live.

I have mythdora ( Redhat FC4 based) running more or less - at least t the

I want to auto-shutdown the PC after recording has finished.
Googling gives plenty of links/info, which often is contradictory.
Basically, I believe that I need to put an entry such as
00 20 14 08 mon root /sbin/shutdown -h now
(to shutdown the PC at 10PM this evening - 20/08/06)
in EITHER:-
/etc/crontab
or
/etc/cron.daily
Which is correct please?
Thanks
Bill
