Thread: Cron, Do you use it?

from wikipedia: "cron time-based job scheduler in unix-like computer operating systems."

im curious, uses cron? i'v heard mentioned in few threads. if use it, for? how long linux user?

know does, dunno why 1 need use it..

{edit... im not supposed posting here.....}

yes, occasionally.

have set user cron-tab play wave files every half hour 6 in morning 10 pm @ night. files artificial voice "announcing" time customised messages @ times.

pretty trivial use of cron, used multitude of system operations, running various scripting automatically etc.

can bit experimental getting commands working in it, when work out syntax , timing etc, realize how usefull is.

linux user on , off (occasional testing) 8-9 years, onto linux 4 years (mostly ubuntu-now getting onto debian more often).
