Yong -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Peter Salvage Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2000 10:35 AM To: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: cron assistance please Hi all Could someone please assist me with the following? I want to cycle the mailog of exim every day, just after midnight, after first emailing it to someone. Using man 5 crontab, I saw various examples of how to set that up, and there's a script in /usr/exim/bin called exicyclog that will take care of that side of things. Where I am hopelessly confused, is how do I er...well...call cron to tell it to execute the script???
