Cron is a program started in the /etc/rc script. It never exits,
and its purpose is to execute lines from /usr/lib/crontab at given
times. A line looks like this:
minutes hours days months weekdays command_to_execute
Cron examines the file once a minute, and if the current time matches
the pattern, it runs the command (using /bin/sh). Example:
0 9,12,15 * 1-6,8-12 1-5 echo "Coffee break" > /dev/console
(figure it out). If you type 'yes' we'll try to write a simple crontab
file. For some additional info see manual cron(8).
