crontab
Okay I made all the things needed for the crontab. But when i try to execute it I don't know how to do the command part. I have wsftp Pro. How do i issue the command crontab mycron.txt I don't know where to start?

Uhhhhh I don't think Im in Kansas anymore.

I am not sure if it is possible to do it from the ftp program. It is usually done from the command prompt through telnet.

From the telnet command prompt you type
crontab mycron.txt
Then you can verify all is accurate by typing
crontab -l

This is not the correct forum for this thread. It should go in the Perl, CGI and more forum IMHO.

And you do have shell access...because I typed in saiyanz-rage.com and I got a login screen.

USE telnet that comes with your OS.

Dang Eliot you must be psychic..... That was my next question.
here is another one for you....
I did the command and then typed in crontab -1..
what is it supposed to say if it loaded correctly.
also I am confused on having the crontab update every 2 hours. Is this possible? I couldn't figure it out.
well Thanks.
