Here is an example of a crontab listing: 15 07 * * 1-5 /u001/home/oracle/scripts/filescorp24.sh 00 07 * * * /u001/home/oracle/dbastuff/scripts/monitoring/rmerror.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
00,30 * * * * /u001/home/oracle/dbastuff/scripts/monitoring/cron15min.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
00 10 * * * /u001/home/oracle/dbastuff/scripts/monitoring/pager.sh zrls1 > /dev/null 2>&1
00 10 * * * /u001/home/oracle/dbastuff/scripts/monitoring/pager.sh rlsmith_at_kmg.com > /dev/null 2>&1
00 07 * * * /u001/home/oracle/dbastuff/scripts/monitoringnt/rmerror.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
00,30 * * * * /u001/home/oracle/dbastuff/scripts/monitoringnt/cron15min.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

To start out you will need to type out all the commands and save them in a file(filename).
Then just type "crontab filename" without the quotes. After that, you can see what is scheduled by typing "crontab -l". I always direct the output of the crontab -l statement to a file if I am getting ready
to change the schedule. That way I am sure I have the current schedule. To do this
just type "crontab -l > filename".

Keep in mind that each user has a possible crontab schedule. Issueing a "crontab -l"
will only tell you what you have scheduled, not everything that is scheduled on the server.
The man pages should help for the details.

Have you tried using CRONTAB.

It's very, very easy (given my lack of Unix knowledge!!).

Just do a: $ man crontab in unix for more details.
