in reply to Adding an entry to crontab file

Hi Nalina,

Before you write any code, you'll want to read the docs on your system to find out the customary way of using cron for that system, for a given user. For example, Debian keeps a few directories in /etc for root to drop scripts into -- no crontab editing required. Scripts in /etc/cron.daily get automatically run daily, for example.
