While this list exists for helping members share knowledge, it really shouldn't be used as a substitute for google. Being rusty isn't a valid excuse for this. > As for pointing me to the docs, I looked through them but couldn't make > heads or tails of them.

Just because YOU need to get things done now doesn't really justify hitting the list for every little question. YOU are the one getting paid to do the job, not us. > I've loaded my scripts to /etc/rc.d/init.d Now how do I schedule my cron > jobs? Cron job scheduling hasn't changed meaningfully in at least a decade. You're far beyond the 'rusty' point here, and still not using the documentation or google because you're in a hurry. I personally consider this behavior to be rude to other members of the list who legitimately need assistance. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
