Hi all,
I have installed cron via /tmp.
Editing the crontab file by: crontab -e and saving it, all works just fine but if i later on make a reboot the crontab file gets deleted.
Crontab -l resluts in" no crontab for root".
What am i doing wrong?
I think i'll give up soon.
update:
It must be something wrong with the cron package, the install doesn't stop,seems like it could go on forever(i waited 25 min to be sure) have to reebot to stop it.
I managed to fix the problem,I did like below, and created those dirs since they were missing and put the script in "cron.daily"
From MAN Vixie cron:
"In the /etc directory you will probably find some sub directories called
'cron.hourly', 'cron.daily', 'cron.weekly' and 'cron.monthly'. If you place
a script into one of those directories it will be run either hourly, daily,
weekly or monthly, depending on the name of the directory. "
I then removed the .sh extension of the script file, would start otherwise.
I then created a crontab file in /etc
Crontab file looks like this and it's named: crontab
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
# m h dom mon dow user command
59 18 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally I can run the e2_loadepg every day so that i now have 7days EPG.
