Subject: Re: [opensuse] writing a crontab and don't know where to put it

Yhea, it's good fun to be able to control the OS instead of the OS
controlling you :-)
Kind of, but I can't create the cron tab with:
crontab -e 27 4,16 * * * /usr/local/f-prot/tools/check-updates.pl -cron
When I did a crontab ls -l it returned no crontab for root. When I do
crontab -e it appears to open an editor. I paste the above code it doesn't
add the numbers or "*". I also find no way to save the crontab.
Please help me tame this snarling beast so I can update automatically f-prot.
Cheers,
Dwain
