# to open crontab with commandline editor
crontab -e

# to open crontab with gui editor
env EDITOR=xdg-open crontab -e


to test if crontab is working try to outputting a log file
exmaple: 
* * * * * ~/Scripts/timebomb.sh > /tmp/timebomb_error.log 2>&1

note: one of the most common reasons crontab doesnt work
is because it wants you to put the absolute path to an app/location

Ex:
transmission-gtk
vs
/usr/bin/transmission-gtk

# use the which command to figure it out the path
which transmission-gtk




----------------
## for crontab

# to run flexget without generating log files
@hourly /usr/bin/flexget --cron

# start transmission-gtk version minimized if it is not already running
*/30 * * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && if pidof -x /usr/bin/transmission-gtk; then exit; else /usr/bin/transmission-gtk -m; fi &

# this is for transmission-cli/daemon version
@hourly if pidof -x /usr/bin/transmission-daemon; then exit; else /usr/bin/transmission-daemon; fi &
