Lines: 14 Message-ID: <4q6hpt$31o_016@mypc.neosoft.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 206.27.165.132 X-Newsreader: News Xpress 2.0 Beta #1 I'd like to use popclient to poll my ISP for my mail, say, every ten minutes. Looking at the cron docs, it appears that it expects a list of specific date/time parameters, or am I overlooking something? Can cron be given a set of parameters that say "every ten minutes"? If not, then how can I do this some other way? If someone could just point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- Conrad Sabatier -- http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads/
