Thanks Jim,
like I said , I set it to run at boot, I should have added that I
checked. Yes crond is there in ps
PID Uid VmSize Stat Command
1 root 464 S /sbin/init
2 root SW [keventd]
3 root SWN [ksoftirqd_CPU0]
4 root SW [kswapd]
5 root SW [bdflush]
6 root SW [kupdated]
7 root SW [mtdblockd]
30 root 624 S crond
77 1 448 S /sbin/portmap
82 root 680 S /usr/sbin/inetd
...
$ cat /etc/cron/cron.test
#!/bin/sh
echo "cron test"`date "+%D"`>/etc/cron/cron.msg
this works from cli:
$ cat /etc/cron/cron.msg
cron test04/07/08
$ cat /etc/crontab
* * * * * /etc/cron/cron.test
Am I messing up or is this more BusyBorks?
Thx.
