crontab isnt working beacuse its not running when i boot up? how do i automate this? i figured this would have been standard!
For some reason my crontab jobs arent running, I have no mail when i type mail, and cron is e-mails you when it finishes a job?
I have edited the crontab file in /etc/crontab
AndCode:# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab # Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab' # command to install the new version when you edit this file. # This file also has a username field, that none of the other crontabs do. SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin # m h dom mon dow user command 17 * * * * root run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly 25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily 47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly 52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly 10 9 * * * root echo Blah 0 18 * * 1-5 root /usr/local/bin/backup #
