* Modify the /rc5/... path to whereever RC5 is located.  You MUST use
* absolute paths, ~/..., etc will not always work through RSH.

############

Please Note: DO NOT setup your crontab until after you have tested
the /rc5/automated/auto*_up scripts manually and know it works!!  Once
you think it works, setup the crontab and pay attention to the feedback
email crontab sends you and make sure it works!

If everything is working great with the crontab, then feel free to add
"> /dev/null" to:

/rc5/automated/auto*_up - right after it calls *_script:
*_script > /dev/null &

/rc5/automated/flush_all - right after it calls flush_*:
flush_* > /dev/null &

I picked one of the X86 terminals to host the cronjob's for spawning of
the RC5DES client.  Crontab (from my experience) usually uses vi as its
default editor.  Here are a few basic keystrokes to get yourself started.

Execute crontab by: crontab -e
Press i for insert to add your cronjob's

To save: Press ESC, press :, type wq! <enter>
To cancel: Press ESC, press :, type q! <enter>

To completely delete a crontab, execute: crontab -r

These are the settings I used for spawning all the RC5 clients. 
Remove the #lines when inserting these into your crontab.

# Flush all RC5 buffers before the end of the hour.

#
29 * * * * /rc5/automated/halfhr_shutdown
