Great tutorial, Thanks a lot ...
- but, new to UNIX and OSx, I didn't grasp it, sorry.


I tried to follow the instructions but neither do the commands show what you said it should, nor did a "Spotlight" search show any such file as the "crontab" ... it appears not to exist at all.


I went through the entire OSx directory manually, with the ambition to locate it, but nope - it's not there.


I even tried to find it by toggling hidden files to be shown but still, I can't find it.


So is the same with other files that you listed in your extract and by running the "ls" command.


What is it that I am missing here?
I have 10.6.2 Snow Leopard on IMac


Thanks

    Try the command "locate crontab"
    It will list all the files with "crontab" in the title.
