Hi Frank,

So if I=20

#ee /etc/crontab (I prefer ee to vi )

Add this

*	2	*	*	*	root	/bin/csh /root/script.csh

Save exit

That should run my script at 2am every morning yes ?

Spaces above are tabs in keeping with what is in my crontab already =
(entries
by someone else's)

Thanks for your help

Dave C

Hi,

1) if you don't have either cron.allow nore cron.deny, then anyone is
allowed to use cron

2) nope

3) As root just edit /etc/crontab and save it. The config is =
automatically
reread.

4) sleep well

Bye,

Frank
