<P>The default <B>configfiles/mythcrontab</B> file will run the
<B>mythfilldatabase</B> program every day at 0430. If you want to change this,
then open the <CODE>configfiles/mythcrontab</CODE> file in your favorite editor
and modify it as you like. Once you're satisfied with the time that
<B>mythfilldatabase</B> will run, save and exit, and return to the shell prompt.
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE><PRE>$ cd configfiles
$ crontab mythcrontab
$ crontab -l NOTE: this is a lowercase L.
# The following will run the mythfilldatabase shell script at 0430
# every day. Format is
# minutes hour day_of_month month day_of_week
# man 5 crontab for more information
# Need to use a shell script because the QTDIR environment variable isn't
# being honored by crontab?
# The next text should be all on the same line.
