   A fair question. :)  CronTab does not work properly with the ACA1221ec   
   accelerator card. I have tried many a Crontab software for the Amiga and they   
   all launch just fine but never executes anything when it's supposed to   
   execute.  So I thought I would solve it this way - have a ARexx program   
   execute something every 30 or 60 minutes or whatever and just loop itself.    
      
   "protect +s s:hey.scr" - I have no idea what that does. Need to read up on   
   it.  When I say I'm a ARexx noob - I mean it. This is literally my first ARexx   
   program ever.
