Hi,

Do I need to have to start the cron or does it automatically run all the time? And if so how do I start it. I was under the impression that all you had to do was crontab <filename> to get your cron job running, can some please help me out?

Thanks so much

Mike

You need to make sure that crond is started. Most distro's will make sure this is done at boot when you install cron.
