During my last post on Cron I hoped that my work may appear somewhere other than my website. Good news readers, my introduction to Cron is being published within The MagPi magazine issue 73 (September 2018).
From the 30th August 2018 the issue can be purchased for £5.99, purchased on the Google PlayStore or the Apple AppStore, and can also be downloaded for free as a PDF from:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/issues/73/
EDIT (30th Aug 2018): Issue 73 is now available!

You can download this issue free now and forever, but buying in digital & print supports the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s charitable mission to democratise computing.
This is the first time any of my guides/articles have seen print, and I am very grateful to the cool editorial team at The MagPi.
The MagPi magazine is the official Raspberry Pi magazine published by Raspberry Pi press. It launched in May 2012, is published monthly and shares ideas, knowledge, articles and guides to using the Raspberry Pi, Pi software/OS’s and Pi hardware.
