From a Google search, I know crontab _should_ be there, but it appears
does not exist:
$ busybox crontab
crontab: applet not found
$
I have busybox v1.00-rc2:
$ busybox
BusyBox v1.00-rc2 (2004.08.05-21:44+0000) multi-call binary
No problem that the crontab appletdoesn't exist -- I know how to edit a
crontab file. My text crontab contains this single line:
0-59 * * * * root /var/spool/cron/hello
The 'hello' script is executable and works fine from the command line.
My question is WHERE Dillon crond expects to find the crontab file.
I've tried it in:
/var/spool/cron
/var/spool/cron/crontabs
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
I have started crond with no arguments, and also with crond -c followed
by each of the paths above. Each time, crond displays:
crond 2.3.2 dillon, started, log level 8
and ps shows that crond is running.
But nothing happens. Based on my crontab, crond should execute the
"hello" script every minute, but nothing at all happens.
Does anyone know how to get Dillon crond to read my crontab and execute
the commands in it?
Thanks.
