Thanks, Peter! Just a note for something I couldn't figure out for a while:
In order to get crond to acknowledge the new crontabs, you can't just stop and start and expect everything to go as planned. ;) You need to issue the command as 'init' instead of 'start' to get the symlinks made, etc: /etc/init.d/crond stop /etc/init.d/crond init Most (all?) of the init scripts have an init command to get things going! Everyone else may already know this, but I just figured it out and thought it may save some other newer users of AstLinux (like myself) out in the future. -Rich On Thu, 9 Nov 2006, Peter Roelandts wrote: > Rich, > > I use them al the time > just put them in /mnt/kd/crontabs and it will work > > Regards, > > Peter Roelandts > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Richard D Alloway" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2006 7:09 PM > Subject: [Astlinux-users] How to use crontab with AstLinux > > >> >> Hi! >> >> I want to set up a crontab, but there are no /etc/cron* files and >> /var/spool/cron/crontabs is not linked to the keydisk. >> >> What is the best way to enter a cron job into the system that will be >> maintained across reboots? >> >> Thanks! >> >> -Rich >> _______________________________________________ >> Astlinux-users mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://lists.kriscompanies.com/mailman/listinfo/astlinux-users >> >> Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> > > _______________________________________________ > Astlinux-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.kriscompanies.com/mailman/listinfo/astlinux-users > > Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL > PROTECTED] > _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kriscompanies.com/mailman/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
