Crontab

[Dirk]

What does it mean when I run "crontab" and I'm told "no crontab for user or root"?

[MBMarduk]

What do you mean you "run crontab"? Do you type "crontab" on the console?

Anyway, (Dunno if you've read'em, They're not too cryptic/long) I can't really remember but you have 3 manpages associated with crond. Try "man cron", "man crontab" and "man 5 cron(tab)".

I think your box's telling you that cron can't the file(s) to run things for the(se) user(s).

There's an NHF on how to use crontab and other Linux scheduling programs. Check it out.

Thanks to all. I read man cron,and I'm setting up xntp to work w/out cron. Will study cron more just to learn it.
