Well, you'll be amazed by how easy it is to do it :) |

Just log in as root and type 'crontab -e' to edit the crontab. There you |
| 11 |
should have something like: |
| 12 |
* * * * * emerge --sync |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Each '*' represents a field, and they have the following order: |
| 15 |
1) Minutes. |
| 16 |
2) Hour. |
| 17 |
3) Day of month. |
| 18 |
4) Month. |
| 19 |
5) Day of week. |

More on this can be found on the Internet or by reading the man pages: |
| 22 |
cron and crontab. |
