The simplest (but maintenance nightmarish) routine would be 2 crontabs and
just mv them and "crontab" them.

This seems like it should be simple, but my brain isn't able to wrap itself
around the problem this morning. Perhaps its all the snow.
My weekly backup stops our production databases and I'd like to comment out
some cron jobs so they don't generate a bunch of errors while the backup is
running, then uncomment them when the backup completes. Anyone have a good
ksh syntax for how to edit a crontab file from a ksh script?
