Uh, you mean the individual user's text crontab config file? To install it as your own just type "crontab that-saved-config-file" To see that its installed, "crontab -l" To change it, "crontab -e" See also crontab(1) If you mean particular executable files called by items in the crontab then I suggest using "cp -p" to copy while maintaining timestamp to where ever you desire. Then edit your crontab to ensure it points at those utilities/scripts. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
