[arm-allstar] Crontab RPi2 V1.0

[Doug Crompton]

Ron,

 Yes, the releases now have nano set for editing since many don't know vi or vim and would get in trouble trying to edit things.

The cron works on the hour fine here with the stock setting.   

00 0-23 * * * (source /usr/local/etc/allstar.env ; /usr/bin/nice -19 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/sbin/saytime.pl $NODE1 > /dev/null)

Apr 13 10:00:01 alarmpi crond[3885]: pam_unix(crond:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
Apr 13 10:00:01 alarmpi CROND[3886]: (root) CMD ((source /usr/local/etc/allstar.env ; /usr/bin/nice -19 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/sbin/saytime.pl $NODE1 > /dev/nu
Apr 13 10:00:02 alarmpi CROND[3885]: pam_unix(crond:session): session closed for user root

00 * * * *   and 00 0-23 * * *  are functionally the same.
