I agree. Just remember that your crontab is stored in /var/at/tabs/
not in your home directory. Always keep a copy of it. I've lost many
a crontab when moving to a new computer or reinstalling the OS on a
clean disk because I forgot to back it up. When using crontab -e to
edit the crontab always try to make a habit of doing ":w ~/crontab"
(if vi is your editor) or something similar to make a copy before
you exit.
A question to those of you who use cron, I've previously used it
for running backup scripts on my MBP and one problem with that
is when the MBP is sleeping when the "event time" nothing happens.
I could of course write some kind of "scheduling script" that is
run by cron and makes sure that other scripts are run when the
MBP wakes up again. OK, not a always necessary but sometimes it
comes in handy to make sure that some scripts are actually run.
How do you handle this problem?
