Re: Automating PPP with cron?

["Timothy M. Hospedales" <hospedales@wow.net>]

Sounds like a dooable crack.

I see a cron.daily, weekly & monthly directory in /etc, with scripts in it,
which I presume get executed daily weekly and month respectively.
I'de like it to run every 6 hours. I tried read the cron & cron tab manpages,
but I'm still clueless as to how to do this.... I can't find any howto's on
this either. :(.

Any pointers to doc files, (or actual help:), on this subject?

Thanks,
Timothy
