[Xastir] Xastir with VMware

[Amateur Radio WB8NUT]

To work around the problem, I created a crontab job to kill xastir and 
then restart it.

The Crontab is laid out like this:

01 03 * * * pkill -9 -f xastir
02 03 * * * /usr/bin/xastir

The cronjob kills xastir just fine, but it never restarts it. I'm far 
from a Linux guru, I keep learning, I have searched the Internet for 
information on crontab and it seems I am doing it correctly, but 
obviously not.

Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks,

Duffy
