# If you don't want the output of a cron job mailed to you, you have to direct # any output to /dev/null. We'll do this here since these jobs should run # properly on a newly installed system, but if they don't the average newbie # might get quite perplexed about getting strange mail every 5 minutes. :^) # # Run the 'atrun' program every 5 minutes # This runs anything that's due to run from 'at'. See man 'at' or 'atrun'. 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/lib/atrun 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null # This touches a filename in the temp directory so that you can see cron is # working if the timestamp is current.
