create a file at /etc/crontabfirst few lines look like this:
# $NetBSD: crontab,v 1.13 1997/10/26 13:36:31 lukem Exp $
#
# /etc/crontab - root's crontab
#
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
HOME=/var/log #min hour mday month wday user command that last bit tells you how to format the remaining lines to run commands. to do something daily at 1:30, you'd put this: 30 1 * * * willy ~/mydailyscript.sh willy would obviously be changed to whoever you wanted the process to be run as. last bit would change to whatever you command was, args, switches and all. -------------------- -- -willy

50 14 * * 2 birchett streamripper http://wfmu.oven.com:8000/ -d /Users/birchett/Desktop -l 3600 the above does not work at all, but just birchett streamripper http://wfmu.oven.com:8000/ -d /Users/birchett/Desktop -l 3600 on the standard command line does work immediately. It seems like cron does not want to process this task! Any clues?
