I googled for cron howto, and noticed that the /etc/crontab file is
empty. I want to run an event on a daily basis, and need to know
where to add, and how to add an event to run jpodcatcher once a day.
Any help appreciated.

First off, if you want it to run in the system cron, just
/etc/crontab, on the other hand if you want it as an user cron, just:
crontab -e
Anyways, this is an example of a basic job running daily at, for
instance, 11:00 AM

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/

# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
00 11 * * * root /home/manu/babelserver.sh

got it?

You might want to read the Crontab manual.

Hope this helps
All the best.

Manuel.

Manuel: Thanks. Sounds right to me. Problem is, on my FC5, the
/etc/crontab file is empty. There are directories for cron.daily,
cron.weekly, etc. When I cd to those directories, there are several
files, each of which is running a shell script. So, do I have to create
a shell script, and copy it to the directory I want, or can I place a
cron command someplace?
Tom

Actually, it's up to you, whatever suits for you :-)
Cheers

Manuel: Please share your FC5 crontab file. Mine is empty. What's in
yours?
Thanks, Tom

I already did it :-)

[manu@Arbusto ~]$ cat /etc/crontab
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/

# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
00 11 * * * root /home/manu/babelserver.sh
