RE: [cobalt-users] Crontab

["John Burgess" <john.burgess@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

You mean with shell access?  If user has shell access they can just do
crontab -e and edit away.  If they can't vi, there is a shell var (EDITOR or
VISUAL if I remember right) that sets their preferred editor.  If they don't
have shell access, and if RAQ allows cron to run a crontab for a userid that
doesn't have shell priv's (I don't know if it does or not), I suppose you
could do a web page or something for them that submits to cron with
crontab -u user file.  An aside for budding administrators (more of a
historical note) that back when, on Sys3 and SysV boxen, if you ran the
command crontab without any arguments, your crontab file was deleted without
any warnings.  I don't think that happens on Cobalt.
