Hail I have developed a tool for configuring crontab using Python and PyGtk. It is located at: http://gaute.eu.org/stasj/cronconf It works by reading 'crontab -l' into a file and parse it. And then write a new crontab config file and install it with 'crontab <file>' This should make it work on different crontab versions, haven't tested though. You may choose to just save the config file without installing it so that you can install it on another computer. The add crontab dialoge got a simple time expression builder, mainly to make the expression and combine them if necessary. If you run as root you can choose to edit other users crontabs, and your own since the USER environment variable doesn't update on some terminals when you su. The first argument is then the user. I plan to make it able to configure 'at' as well. But haven't started anything there yet. I'd be happy to hear any comments.
