Re: [foxboro] Editing Crontab

Don't edit the crontab file directly.

Best way I know of is to use crontab to generate a work file, edit the
workfile and reload it.

crontab -l > /tmp/crontab.txt
{now edit crontab.txt with vi or whatever....}
crontab /tmp/crontab.txt

Now list crontab again to check your work:

crontab -l

Cheers,

Kevin FitzGerrell
