Hello-
I am trying to implemenet a cron job. I ran into the following
information and can't seem to find any references to cron in
the /etc/ directory. The only directories I have found are in
the /var/spool/ and these directories are empty.
Info:
Cron runs commands in the /etc/crontab file, the /etc/cron.d
directory, and /var/spool/cron directory that has file names of
authorized users in the /etc/passwd file. Cron commands are
scheduled in three locations:
The directory "/var/spool/cron" with files named after accounts
in "/etc/passwd".
The directory "/etc/cron.d". The format of files here is described
in the crontab(5) manpage.
The file called "/etc/crontab".
I try to add a crontab entry by using:
crontab -e
but this command is not found. Do I have to install cron and if so
where do I find a cron program?
Thanks,
Ryan
