[xubuntu-users] using cron to schedule reboot events

[JMZ]

Okay thanks for the help.  I figured it out by trial and error.

Incidentally (and this has nothing to do with you) the ubuntu community 
help pages are a mixed bag.  Sometimes they're great, other times 
they're hard to decipher.  I give the website below a C.  The info 
should be spread out over a number of pages.
