As Dale said, 'crontab -e' to edit the current user's crontab is the easiest solution, which I also use with cronie. There you can paste in your config line without the user name. You can also edit /etc/crontab if you want, in this file the syntax includes a field to specify what user a command should run as, so here you could paste in your config line as is. Make sure to add the cronie service to a runlevel so it starts automatically: 'sudo rc-service add cronie default' Regards, Arve
