Hi,
What is the correct way to edit the system crontab file? I know I've done it in the past, because I have /etc/crontab which contains all my backup routines. Is it permissible to edit it with any editor (eg. vim, kate), as root?
I've tried issuing
~ # crontab -e
but that just creates a new, blank file.
I think I'm getting too old for this :(

IIRC (been a very long time) it can be edited manually. However, since you are using KDE, take a look at Personal Settings/Advanced/Task Schedule; that will create the crontab for you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
