I have put this in using crontab -e so that all the info is there when I do my next edit: #minute (0-59) #| hour (0-23) #| | day of the month (1-31) #| | | month of the year (1-12) #| | | | day of the week (0-6 with 0=Sunday) #| | | | | commands It is at the top and then my cron jobs are lined up under it. -- Anita GnuPG key: 1024D/9EDAC910 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
