[Cialug] Editing crontabs from CLI - ncurses?

[Josh More]

If you take the time to learn it, cfengine will likely do what you want.

Check out http://www.sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/cfengine-1.5.4/html_chapter/Tutorial/cfengine-Tutorial_6.html

However, be aware that the learning curve for cfengine is less than shallow.

(Or, just use vi, like me.  :)

Subject: [Cialug] Editing crontabs from CLI - ncurses?

Looking to setup a simple admin interface for scheduling, .. there are a
few X based tools (e.g. Visual Cron), .. but I would really like to avoid
comlicating matters with an X session on remote machines.

A secondary goal is to setup management of cron tasks on a number of
remote machines.

Anyone ever seen such a tool?

        TIA!
