Today I had a 'ah erbelnis' (german)! Every time when I had to edit my crontab I had to count the five stars: months, hours etc. But take a look at...

man 5 crontab

We can use the @-parameter at the crontab:
Instead of the first five fields, one of eight special strings may appear:

string meaning
------ -------
@reboot Run once, at startup.
@yearly Run once a year, "0 0 1 1 *".
@annually (same as @yearly)
@monthly Run once a month, "0 0 1 * *".
@weekly Run once a week, "0 0 * * 0".
@daily Run once a day, "0 0 * * *".
@midnight (same as @daily)
@hourly Run once an hour, "0 * * * *".

Isn't that easy? Especially the @reboot, now we even can initiate reboot commandsat user level!

As for Word 2010, Microsoft Office I really like the ribbon effect Microsoft Office 2007. The only really annoying thing so far is Micro office 2010 that once a document is closed, it doesn't show up on the "Recent Documents" list if it is download Office 2010 saved in the temp directory (for example). So, 2010 office if you forget to save your doc to the Office 2007 right place, it may be hard to find. For me, being on the set of the Martha Stewart television show Office Microsoft 2010 was a treat. It was the Office 2010 download second time, actually, because back in October Anduin showcased Office Microsoft Microsoft OneNote on the air for how it was office 2010 professional helping her keep track of everything from her daughter's school information to her holiday gift list to her complete set of Thanksgiving plans. This was simple to install, early loaded onto my new Windows 7 program. Office 2010 I had no problem MS office 2007 linking over old files from my MS office 2010 old computer. Old file information was easy absorbed by the 'New' versions of the various office products and Microsoft outlook 2010 in just a few minutes all my Office 2007 key old data was reasonable so I had very minimal down time. Last week, the Martha Stewart show featured Microsoft office professional 2010 Word in a television segment about office 2010 pro how to make personal holiday cards quickly and easily. As the product guy responsible for most of the Office Microsoft outlook apps, of course I was Office 2007 download tickled by the fact that Office 2010 Microsoft Word was going to be on TV. Word doesn't get much stage time, you understand. She's definitely the behind-the-scenes kind of girl; much like Anduin Havens, who is the art director for the Microsoft Office 2010 Martha Stewart show download Office 2007. Anduin has got to be one of the 2010 Office Microsoft most creative people I've ever met. She's brilliant, she's won an Emmy for her work on creating the Outlook 2010 set of the show, and she made Office 2010 key these beautiful holiday cards office 2010 home in Word, which were featured on the air.
