Hi Doug and All,

I've been playing around with Crontab.  First when I issue command 
crontab -e the nano editor comes up instead of Vi.  I've read that you 
have to be careful how you create the crontab entries and I was 
wondering if it's ok to edit crontab using nano.  The problem I was 
having is the time on the hour wasn't working.  I changed the crontab to 
what was in the Beagle Bone system

00 * * * * (source /usr/local/etc/allstar.env ; /usr/bin/nice -19 
/usr/bin/perl /usr/local/sbin/saytime.pl -w KPABENSA5 $NODE1 > /dev/null)

Thanks, Ron NY3J
