Cron Job help <BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Would someone be willing to assist me with
setting up a Cron job that would reboot my box on a monthly schedule? I have
Googled for help and found examples but I am perplexed with the syntax. I
tried to use Webmin to do this but could not ( each time I would try to run
the job I was informed I needed to run the job as a superuser...). Newbie
instructions would be greatly appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
