[KLUG Members] cron ???

[Wesley Leonard]

Here's a link to a primer presented to KLUG many years ago:

http://kalamazoolinux.org/presentations/19980721/cron1.html

The main thing is to run the command:

crontab -e

and enter something like this:

* * * * * /bin/command


Each * can be replaced with a different time value.  I think it goes
like this:

minute, hour, day (0f week), month, year.  An * means EVERY.  So:

0 6 * * * /bin/alarm

The above would run at 6:00 am every day of every month of every year.

have fun!
