When you type crontab -e this opens a default crontab file that you place
you
code into and then it saves it, or thats my understanding, how can you go
back
and make changes to this file afer it has been saved and closed, as I am
not sure
where the crontab saves its default files too.
Also if I place file with cron instructions into the crontab.hourly
directory how do I
actually get the crontab process to start because when I type in ps -la
which displays
the process currently running on the system the crontab does not appear so
how do I
start this process.
Cheers

Attention Users:
On Friday, May 9, at 2100 EDT(US), the list server will be taken offline
for
an extended period of time for machine and software upgrades. During this
time mail to the lists will be bounced with a message stating the server
is offline. The outage is expected to take about 20 hours. Of course once
we start with the migration we are not going to stop until it is done.
Things that are changing that will be noticeable to end users:
1) The Web interface will be in a different location:
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo
2) Since the site is integrated with www.redhat.com the pages have
been changed to match the look and feel of the website.
3) The archiving will be changed from the default Pipermail to MHonArc
Some of the larger lists will have ALL users purged and resubscribed. This
will change your list settings to the default settings. This is due to
some
configuration problems our previous server had. If this affects you, you
will receive a welcome message.
After the server is brought back on-line, we will kick off the process that
sends the monthly password so everyone will have their password for the
lists they are subscribed to.
Thank you for your patience.

Hi people,

run
but I am unsure on how to actually get the cron to run it all the time and
also how to have the cron present in the system process does anyone
have any ideas?

As root, add an entry to the system cron table by running "crontab -e".
man 5 crontab for information on the format.

You can put your script in the proper cron directory, e.g.,
/etc/cron.monthly, /etc/cron.weekly, /etc/cron.daily, etc.
