 ### Adjusting Automation
-You can verify your cron entry by running `crontab -l` and see it listed at the bottom of the file. If you decide to remove or change your frequency, you'll need to run `crontab -e` and adjust this by hand. If you're unsure of how to adjust the timers by hand, just delete the entire line in the crontab file and then re-run the `./gravity-sync automate` function.
+You can verify your existing automation entry by running `crontab -l` and see it listed at the bottom of the crontab file. If you decide to remove or change your frequency (as of version 1.8.3) you can run `./gravity-sync.sh automate` again and pick a new timing, including setting it to 0 to disable automation.
