Can cron be modified via a script?
Hi,
From time to time, I have a cron job that I have to enable/disable/enable/disable. I just want to know if there is any way to insert cron entries or do this to enable/disable bit via a script instead.
It seems 'safer' to do this via a script rather than manual? I think
or is this such a bad idea
