Re: Emulate(?) the crontab

Buy an interstellar-chameleon-monkey, send him back in time to 1970,
where he can impersonate Dennis Richie and insert some code into the C
compiler that will propagate down through time into the latest compilers
used to build Linux and add some code allowing you to edit the inittab file.

Oh, bugger.  I forgot. You can't buy interstellar-chameleon-monkeys yet.
 Sorry.  Scratch that idea.
