When i input this command the black bar and control option come on in the top and bottom, but there is nothing underneath the date,week,month line, instead above it says, "the periodic and atrun jobs have moved to launchd jobs .... see /System/Library/LaunchDaemons. I was wondering if you could let me know where i could go from here to edit the crontab times so that i may continue the tutorial. Thank You

  As mentioned in the notes at the beginning of this article, this tutorial only applies to Mac OS 10.1, so is rather out of date. launchd is an element of 10.4 (TIger), so you'll not be able to follow this tutorial with that machine. For Tiger users, there's an excellent new series of articles by Mary Norbury-Glaser beginning here:
