Stop the cron process

edit /var/spool/yourid  (with your favorite editor as root via sudo)


Sorry, but I don't use sudo. Ever. In fact, when I did a clean install on my laptop, I made sure it wasn't included. If I need to be root, I know and understand how su works.

Start the cron process

Better yet:

EDITOR=nano crontab -e

worked just fine.  Why?  Who knows; It Just Worked.

However, the new item didn't run when expected. (I'd set it to run about ten minutes after the edit.) I'm not sure, at this point, if cron is actually active or not.
