pico /usr/bin/crontab
does not function as it did in 10.4.
Huh? You're editing a binary executable? Perhaps you meant
pico /var/at/tabs/yourid
If so, that's not the correct way. To use pico on your crontab
set your EDITOR environment variable to /usr/bin/pico (in your
.cshrc, .login, or whatever -- so it remembers it for future
sessions) and then issue "crontab -e" to edit your crontab.
So, is it or is it not going to be removed eventually!? and is it or
is it not going to be replaced by launchd?
I ranted about this earlier, but I'll add one more requirement
to my list of acceptable terms should Apple decide to do so,
they must provide a key such that launchd won't run a job
that was scheduled to run while the computer was sleeping.
Currently, launchd will run the job when the computer wakes up
and cron (on BSD at least) doesn't (shouldn't). To be transparent,
there must be a key that effects this behavior.
