Edit crontab for basic utilities in a business setting
Authored by: spot on Feb 11, '05 01:47:57PM

Just to clarify, there are two "crontabs":

1) The command line utility crontab, which is a tool to edit crontab files.
2) The system crontab file which is /etc/crontab

Apart from the system crontab file, each user has a crontab file, located in /var/cron/tabs.

These files are executed on schedule by the system daemon cron.

CronniX is not a replacement cron utility, it's merely tool to edit the crontab files.
