2.4 Load the Crontab File

The next thing you need to do is load your Crontab file. Crontab is a small program on many UNIX web servers which allows you to automatically run programs on your server at set times. This is what will be used to automatically send all follow up messages everyday.

To load your Crontab file, please follow these steps:

1. Telnet into your server.
2. Change directories to the aefs_data directory on your server
3. At the prompt, type crontab cron.aefs
4. If you do not receive any message after typing this, your Crontab file has been successfully loaded

If you receive an error while trying to load your Crontab file, please contact your server administrator. You may not have permission to run Crontab on your server.
