Hi,
I saw /etc/crontab that seems to do some useful things; and I created
a script in /etc/cron.daily that should run my daily backups. But it
doesn't get started.
So I ran crontab -e to put that /etc/crontab in my (root's)
crontab. Then it got active indeed, except that it generated
errors because every command starts with `root':
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/lib/news/bin
MAILTO=root
#-* * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/atrun && /usr/sbin/atrun
0 * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/faxqclean && /usr/sbin/faxqclean
5 22 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/texpire && /usr/sbin/texpire
25 23 * * * root test -e /usr/sbin/faxcron && sh /usr/sbin/faxcron | mail FaxMaster
#
# check scripts in cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly and cron.monthly
#
*/15 * * * * root test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons
How should one use this /etc/crontab?
