I haven't used cron much as a mostly home user of Linux. My main Linux machine doesn't change all that often to need to run many cron jobs.
for the occasional task, you might be better using "at" rather than "cron"
Especially since "at" is more like a VCR than "cron".
And apparently "at" is a lot easier to get going: I think I'm doing the cron thingy right and I can't get any jobs to run (not even "run ls every minute from 6pm to 7pm on any month, day of the month, or day of the week.").
And I always thought: the very simplest words Must be enough. When I say what things are like Everyone's heart must be torn to shreds. That you'll go down if you don't stand up for yourself Surely you see that.
