A more correct way would be to let cron manage the crontab for you.
Try this:
crontab -l >/tmp/somefile$$
echo "new stuff to cron" >>/tmp/somefile$$
crontab /tmp/somefile$$
rm /tmp/somefile$$
This way cron will hup itself when it re-reads the file.

Hi!
I have about 150 AIX servers and I need to append the skulker script in the root crontab file in all these servers. I can achieve this by doing a scmd from a central server which is being trusted by all the 150 servers. After this I need to either stop and restart the cron demon or do a HUP. This is difficult to run using smcd because the cron pid is not the same on all the servers. Is there any way I can achieve my task without logging into each and every server..?
