Can the CRON conditions be changed while Robo-FTP is running?
Yes and no. You may edit the "crontab.txt" file while Robo-FTP is running and the changes will take affect as soon as you close the file.
However, Robo-FTP only poles the "crontab.txt" file when the CRON command is called. So, if Robo-FTP is currently waiting for the next time interval, it will not check scheduling until that time interval is met.
For example:
Robo-FTP is waiting until 6:00 pm to launch your script. You edit "crontab.txt" so that the launch time for the script is now 4:00 pm. Robo-FTP will still wait until 6:00 to launch the script, but the subsequent run will be scheduled for 4:00 pm the next day.
