If you didn't install all bbs programs yet, you better hit Control-C now and run this script when everything is installed. If you insist on installing the crontab without the bbs is complete you might get a lot of mail from cron complaining about errors. The default crontab will have entries for regular maintenance. You need to add entries to start and stop polling fidonet uplinks. There is a example at the bottom of the crontab which is commented out of course. IMPORTANT: the first crontab entry is to set the Zone Mail Hour. This entry is set for Holland, Amsterdam. ZMH is 02:30 - 03:30 UTC for zone 2. CET is one hour plus in wintertime and two hours plus in summertime. If you run "mbstat check" at each possible begin and end of ZMH you must run it at 03:30, 04:30 and 05:30 local CET. You must calculate and set the times for your own timezone and own Fidonet Zone Mail Hour. On most systems you can edit the crontab by typing "crontab -e". Hit Return to continue or Control-C to abort.
