Hi,

Do I need to have to start the cron or does it automatically run all the time? And if so how do I start it. I was under the impression that all you had to do was crontab <filename> to get your cron job running, can some please help me out?

Thanks so much

Mike

cron should start at boot time with all distros and it will run in the background. do 'ps -e' to see the running processes (you may have to pipe it to less if it goes to quick: 'ps -e | less')
