I'm not sure I'm getting it.
Are you saying that I can just put a text file in
/etc/cron.hourly with:
*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/rdate -s bitsy.mit.edu
as the text and like a 755 permission, and it'll run, with no crontab or
anything?
Forgive me if that isn't what you meant because I tried that and I got:
/etc/cron.hourly/clock: */15: No such file or directory
/etc/cron.hourly/time: */30: No such file or directory
This shouldn't be this tough, but like I say I'm new.
Thanks again,
--Todd
