How do crontab files get updated with changes?
I have an ant script that puts my crontabtemplate changes out on a solaris server. But I am scratching my head trying to figure out what to do next on getting the actual crontab file updated with changes. Somone have suggestions on reads or links to figure this out?
thx in advance

Which OS are you running - as there are a number of flavours of crontab ...

Please supply examples of source|&output (a before && after scenario would be helpful), having that will enable effective assistance to be given.

Its running on solaris server. I have an install script that does the following:
# crontab
crontab $CURRENT_WORKERS/bin/crontabTemplateBRANCH

Theres nothing showing up as errors on terminal when running. The crontabTemplateBRANCH exists with changes. The $CURRENT_WORKERS I know works because its used in deffernt parts fo the script just fine. As a matter of fact I have since verified that I can type in the above command and the changes to crontab take just fine. Yet in my install script it doesnt with no errors. Confused as I would thing at least an error would show up but nothing?
