First of all, DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! This file is just INSTRUCTIONS. Editing
it will not make the crontabs work. Follow the below instructions.

Run crontab -e (I'd suggest 'export VISUAL=pico' and/or 'export
EDITOR=pico', depending on your OS, first) to get into crontab.

First line: This will stop crontab from emailing you about failures. You
can try without it first, but if you find it irritating getting emailed 
about it all the time, put this at the top:

MAILTO=""

Make sure you move these scripts to your home directory! Either that or
change the line in your crontab to reflect the true path to the script.

By default, this will look for the serviceschk script in your home
directory. This will run every minute. You can test it by shutting
services down and seeing if they come back a minute or so later. If they
don't, you did something wrong.

* * * * * /home/user/serviceschk >/dev/null 2>&1

This will run the backup script every night at midnight. As above, this
looks in your home directory.

0 0 * * * /home/user/backup >/dev/null 2>&1

Make sure you've edited the backup and serviceschk files accordingly.

To clarify, this is what your crontab should look like:

MAILTO=""
* * * * * /home/user/serviceschk >/dev/null 2>&1
0 0 * * * /home/user/backup >/dev/null 2>&1

Now save and exit. It should now be installed and working properly.
