Cron Jobs...

Cron Jobs...
Ok. I know how to create Crontab jobs, but what I need to know is this.

If the server is restarted, do all of the jobs get lost and have to be re-added?

The script I am working on is a membership one, which will run every month. Obviously interuptions could lead to many problems especially if the cron jobs are canceled Frown

Any feedback?

Thanks

Andy

Of course they aren't deleted otherwise every webhost would be in deep crap everytime they re-started Apache.

No they aren't. All your cron jobs are stored in a plain text file, usually within the system's spool directory. The file just gets parsed each time cron is run.
