I should note that there is a gui frontend for editing your crontab available. It's called CronniX, see www.koch-schmidt.de/cronnix. Incidentally, the author is called Sven, too... ;-)

Thanks Sven - it's posted somewhere here as a tip, too. Good program that makes configuring cron much more straightforward!

That URL is now spam.

If you cp /etc/crontab and use that as your base crontab, make sure you don't keep the user specification. I changed 'root' to my user and spent hours trying to figure out why my crontab wouldn't work. It was trying to run my username as a command!
On user specific crontabs, do not specify a user to run the command as. The crontab located at /etc/crontab is the system-wide crontab. Root is specified in each so those commands are run as root. The user, root, doesn't have a crontab at all!!
This gave me a headache for a while, but I'm glad I understand it now.

Thankyou so much for that.. Just my first time at setting up a cron for an rsync and taken me two hours of searching to find out why nothing was happening... You are a genious!
Cheers

Some other problems you may have:
When I opened up a GUI application using crond:
sh /usr/bin/open ~/Application.app
It did not seem to work.
I changed it to:
/usr/bin/open ~/Application.app >& /dev/null
And it worked.
I suspect not having the redirect-all at the end causes security problems as I not sure what uid's console is attached to the cron process at that time, and may be the cause of an error I received:
'com.apple.launchd[1] (0x10c650.cron[14768]): Could not setup Mach task special port 9: (os/kern) no access'
Hope this helps some people out.
PS: I used it to create template mails from an automator script I ran each morning to find people I know what has a birthday that same day.

Oh wow, I hope that works! I've been so frustrated with cron and iCal script alarms not working in the middle of the night!

Well, I can't confirm that it worked yet, but I have a tip to add. Turns out that the version of perl that root was using was different than the one my account was using. It would have been useful to have the STDERR output, so I changed the shell script call in my applescript wrapper to do something like this:I set my cron file to run in a minute and it worked. Now I just have to see if it will work over night. Rob

Rather than copy the system cron file and edit in a text editor you can use the command
crontab -e
which brings up your crontab for editing in the 'vi' editor. When you save your changes it will then parse the crontab you have set up and warn you if there are any obvious errors in it.

man crontab
man 5 crontab
man vi

TextWrangler's (and its 'poppa' BBEdit's) Curseedit command line tool can be used to edit the crontab file, following the setup instructions on its man page -- note that you have to write a little 'helper' shell script to invoke edit with the -w

option in order to work around a limitation in crontab.

I've used this for years, but it broke suddenly with the TextWrangler 3.5.3 update, with the error 'crontab: temp file must be edited in place'. This is because the new version of TextWrangler brought in some code from BBEdit which observes a new expert preference. To fix it, quit TextWrangler and execute the following in Terminal: I can't speak to the implications of disabling safe saves, however.

crontab file locations under Mac OSX 10.6 are now:
/usr/lib/cron/tabs

Found this old thread and while most of it seems to be helpful to me, there are some things I can't seem to make happen.
I'm completely new to *nix operating systems and just now getting into the guts of the OSX OS, so vim and the Terminal are fairly new to me.
That said, I have a need to run a cron process in root and I can't seem to make it happen.
I can't seem to get into the /usr/lib/cron/tabs directory, and I can't figure out what I need to do to read the cron.deny file in the /usr/lib/cron directory.
Thanks for any help.
Any vi tutorials or anything as well as any bash tutorials would be helpful as well.

Some of the recent scams that used bogus security alerts in a bid to frighten Mac users into purchasing worthless security software appear to have been the brainchild of ChronoPay, Russia’s largest online payment processor and something of a pioneer in the rogue anti-virus business.

Mac

Since the beginning of May, security firms have been warning Apple users to be aware of new scareware threats like MacDefender and Mac Security. The attacks began on May 2, spreading through poisoned Google Image Search results. Initially, these attacks required users to provide their passwords to install the rogue programs, but recent variants do not, according to Mac security vendor Intego.

A few days after the first attacks surfaced, experienced Mac users on Apple support forums began reporting that new strains of the Mac malware were directing users to pay for the software via a domain called mac-defence.com. Others spotted fake Mac security software coming from macbookprotection.com. When I first took a look at the registration records for those domains, I was unsurprised to find the distinct fingerprint of ChronoPay, a Russian payment processor that I have written about time and again as the source of bogus security software.

The WHOIS information for bothdomains includes the contact address of fc@mail-eye.com. Last year, ChronoPay suffered a security breach in which tens of thousands of internal documents and emails were leaked. Those documents show that ChronoPay owns the mail-eye.com domain and pays for the virtual servers in Germany that run it. The records also indicate that the fc@mail-eye.com address belongs to ChronoPay’s financial controller Alexandra Volkova.

Recent domain purchases tied to ChronoPay's fc@mail-eye.com account.

The leaked documents also have given ChronoPay’s enemies access to certain online records that the company maintains, such as domain registration accounts tied to the firm. Both mac-defence.com and macbookprotection.com were suspended by the registrar — a company in the Czech Republic called Webpoint.name. But a screen shot shared with KrebsOnSecurity.com shows that someone recently used that fc@mail-eye.com account to register two more Mac security-related domains that haven’t yet shown up in rogue anti-virus attacks against Mac users: appledefence.com and appleprodefence.com.

Perhaps Apple will have better luck than others who have tried convincing ChronoPay to quit the rogue anti-virus business, but I’m not holding my breath. As I noted in a story earlier this year, ChronoPay has been an unabashed “leader” in the scareware industry for quite some time. In 2008, it was the core processor for trafficconverter.biz, the rogue anti-virus affiliate program that was designed to be the beneficiary of the first strain of the Conficker worm, a menacing contagion that still infects millions of PCs worldwide. Last March, the company was at the forefront of another emerging scam, when it began processing payments for icpp-online.com, a scam site that targeted filesharing users and stole victims’ money by bullying them into paying a “pre-trial settlement” to cover a “Copyright holder fine.”

Update, May 29: ChronoPay responded by publishing a statement denying any involvement in the MacDefender attacks.

Apple has issued an official support note telling users how to avoid or remove Mac Defender malware. ZDNet also got hold an unofficial document that Apple apparently is distributing to its customer support personnel in charge of fielding complaints about the attacks. I should point out that all of the rules from my recent blog post Krebs’s 3 Basic Rules for Online Safety apply just as well to Mac users as they do to Windows folks. But #1 is the most important, and keeps Mac users out of trouble here: “If you didn’t go looking for it, don’t install it!”
