Re: [Nix-dev] How do I get the system crontab to work?
Not directly helping you with cron, but any reason why you are using cron
instead of systemd timers? The functionality is the same, but output is
logged to journald, status is kept and accessible using systemctl.
Just add a startAt definition to your systemd service.

I see here that there are upstream issues with cron as far as setting user

But I'm having trouble setting the system ones as well. I think if they
didn't work
at all a lot of other things would fail, so I must be setting something
wrong. This
simple test doesn't put any files in /tmp or send any emails:
services.cron = {
enable = true;
mailto = jef...@gmail.com;
systemCronJobs = [
* * * * * test ls -l / /tmp/cronout 21
* * * * *
/nix/store/wc472nw0kyw0iwgl6352ii5czxd97js2-coreutils-8.23/bin/test
/nix/store/wc472nw0kyw0iwgl6352ii5czxd97js2-coreutils-8.23/bin/ls -l /
/tmp/cronout 21
];
};
I've checked that it does get written to /etc/crontab:
SHELL=/nix/store/xlxjcjq3bnbwnzq82irlzwxhmx6fvc2w-bash-4.3-p33/bin/bash
PATH=/nix/store/fpqvi360cimx3h1kxdxfvkyip52d1i8y-system-path/bin:/nix/store/fpqvi360cimx3h1kxdxfvkyip52d1i8y-system-path/sbin
MAILTO=jef...@gmail.com
NIX_CONF_DIR=/etc/nix
* * * * * test ls -l / /tmp/cronout 21
* * * * *
/nix/store/wc472nw0kyw0iwgl6352ii5czxd97js2-coreutils-8.23/bin/test
/nix/store/wc472nw0kyw0iwgl6352ii5czxd97js2-coreutils-8.23/bin/ls -l /
/tmp/cronout 21
And that the test and ls binaries are on that PATH. Anything else I should
try?

[Nix-dev] Question about 'import'
Hello!
I'm not sure if this is the right spot to ask these kind of questions --
if not, I'd be happy to re-post this elsewhere.
My question:
I can't seem to find anywhere in the manual, or elsewhere, that defines
the form of 'import' that uses the greater-than/less-than symbols around
the path parameter.
Example:
with import nixpkgs {};
I have some intuition as to what this is for, but I'm curious as to what
the '' are more formally defined as doing.
Thank you!

[Nix-dev] Unetbootin boot through Grub2 console
Hi all I got a tiny netbook on which I can't access the BIOS and can't find the CMOS button without dissemble it entirely. I can still boot to grub console of the previous distro and got a usb drive with a unetbootin copy of nixos. Is there any way I could boot up from the grub2 console? I tried booting from the .iso file through a loopback, that gives me the bzImage and the initrd file. But I also need the init file which is contained on the squashfs image of the nix-store. I could not put the whole store on a usb drive because it needs to be FAT and it doesn't seem to support symlinks which are many on the store. Ideally I would like to avoid all this if I could boot directly from a unetbootin drive but I am open to other suggestions.

[Nix-dev] Haskell: Stackage and Nix
Is there a way to build packages from Stackage? It'd be cool to have a separate namespace for that, so I could refer to a package as stackagePackages.something. That's the only relevant post I've found: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.nixos/15724 But it seems to require a lot of work. For the record, I'm aware of Stack and trying it now, but it's also not pleasant because you have to manage non-Haskell libs yourself. signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

Good luck on your trip, sounds like fun! Unfortunately the Donau doesn't pass Warsaw, otherwise, welcome!
