It depends on the freeze, and it's not clear to me what do you mean by "shut it down forcibly". If this means a power off, definitely, there is no way for your PC to sync data in a proper way.

I've modified my ~/.xinitrc and now the X11 startup fails. I just see a message on the screen saying something like Failed to execute.
I don't have a recovery option in my grub, so I cannot boot into a terminal session. How can I open a terminal and repair my .xinitrc?
|
Switch to a different virtual console, e.g. by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2; most distributions provide a terminal login on virtual console 2.
If there is no such login, then use any installation live CD/DVD/USB, mount the home partition, and edit your .xinitrc from there.

As far as I know there is no way to directly do that as cron has a special purpose - running schedules commands at a specific time. So the best thing is to either to manually create a (temporary) crontab entry or write a script which removes and resets the environment.

I want to create a log file for a cron script that has the current hour in the log file name. This is the command I tried to use:

Short answer:
Escape the % as \%:

Day-of-week: Allowed range 0 – 7. Sunday is either 0 or 7.
I found this after Googling, my question is why should both values (0,7) correspond to Sunday?

This is a matter of portability. In early Unices, some versions of cron accepted 0 as Sunday, and some accepted 7 as Sunday -- this format is an attempt to be portable with both. From man 5 crontab in vixie-cron (emphasis my own):

I entered crontab -r instead of crontab -e and all my cron jobs have been removed.

crontab -r removes the only file containing the cron jobs.
So if you did not make a backup, your only recovery options are:

Is the script only ever intended to run one minute after boot up, or can it be used at other times, too? In the former case, you can add sleep 60 to the beginning of your script, or in the latter case, add it to the crontab file:
