Ok, I have used cron on netware before so it should not be hard to
use. The only thing is, I cannot get it to run on my box or my server.
I get a message like this.

cron: can't lock /var/run/cron.pid, otherpid may be 8086: Resource
temporarily unavailable

Any ideas?

Looks like you are trying to start it when it's already running.

In SUSE it runs by default. All you have to do is edit your crontab, the changes will get picked up automatically


Makes sense. Do you know if there is a gui to manage the cron jobs?
