RE: Howto add a crontab job ?
Hi Chris,
Thanks. man crontab doesn't tell me what the syntax is for a "every 5
minute"
job though, and that's what I need. Any other ideas ?
Dee

Write a short shell script to do what you need, looking something like
#!/bin/sh
mrtg dosomething
and put the file in /etc/cron.daily (presuming you want it run once a
day).
Or, if you want it at a certain time, or whatever, use man crontab to
see the file format, and edit /etc/crontab
