 I'd like to set a cron job that keeps a couple of days back logs and

 a new each day.

 How is cron setted up on Debian? Could not make it work properly. (On
redhat
 i did it some time ago)

 Thanks in advance.

Hello Martin,
does your computer run 24 hours a day?
If not you should check whether anacron is installed - otherwise cron won't
work as expected.

BTW, none of my cron items were running and I had it on my list of
things to look at later. I read the earlier post and loaded anacron and
BANG it started up all the cron jobs. So in my case, the answer is just
load the package and watch it go.

It would have been nice to have known this 24hrs business earlier...
