| I've set up a cron job in /etc/crontab - how can I edit the time on it via SSH?

| Use 'crontab -u username -e' to edit the crons for a certain user.

| You may use "vi" editor to modify this.

| You can also use "MC". To start it, just type, "mc" on your command line.
Also, you can edit your "crontab" file using the following command:
mcedit /etc/crontab
If you do not have this program installed, you can install it, using the following commands:
on RPM base distributions as: CentOS, Fedora etc...
yum -y install mc
On DEB based distributiond as: Debian, Ubunut etc...
apt-get -y install mc

| Just do crontab -e
If you are not able to change there. Then do as below.
cd /var/spool/cron
vim username (Probabaly root)
then change as you wish. Then press escape and :wq
restart cron service crond restart

| Exactly what time is the following cron job running at? And Rose - that worked beautifully, thank you.
50 3 * * * root sync -avz -e ssh /folder name@name.bqbackup.com:foldername

| In ssh, run crontab -e and insert “*/1 * * * * rdate -s rdate.cpanel.net" and save it.
