I played around with cron and at last night and successfully started radio with it (yeah, right, a US$1000 clock radio :-)
Three questions: 1) both cron and at seem to run programs in the background. However there is no pid when I do a ps aux, so how do I stop a job from running? 2) can cron or at jobs be run as one-liners? Eventually I want to write a perl of sh script (not that I know how, but I want to try) incorporating one of the two. For cron you need to use an editor to write the command, at comes with its own prompt. 3) how can I change the default editor for cron. vi is too cumbersome for me.
