The docs to installing cfengine refers to /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root That doesn't exist. Nor does /etc/crontab. Heck I remember that from the "old days", now there are lots of cron entries, in /etc but no crontab. Not installed by default. So, I'm hunting that one down. Nate, what did you wind up doing??

Hi folks, While investigating OpenBSD's cron implementation, I found that they set the systemwide crontab (a.k.a. /etc/crontab) to be readable by the superuser only. The attached patch will bring this to FreeBSD by moving crontab out from BIN1 group and install it along with master.passwd. This change should not affect the current cron(1) behavior. Cheers, -- Xin LI <delphij frontfree net> ht...

Hi On 6/10/09, James Bensley <jwbensley at gmail.com> Hi all, I don't know what exactly is causing this, but I can't find cron / crontab on my CentOS 5.3 machine. Yes, I know, it's an obvious one, install it. But, it is, according to rpm: [root at zaxen01 ~]# rpm -aq | grep cron anacron-2.3-45.el5.centos crontabs-1.10-8 I have tried yum update crontabs, and then it said there was no updates. yum update all also said there'...

Hi, I have a issue with OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 and crontab (solaris 8). The crontab will not execute correctly the commands if I edit it by using OpenSSH. client (Solaris 8 / Openssh 3.7.1p2) ---> server (Solaris 8 / Openssh 3.7.1p2). Next, I edit the crontab with "vi" using a console session and I save it without doing modification. The...

Hello folks.. I suddenly found the crontab on one of my puppet clients overwritten. It had many entries, including one created by Puppet. Suddenly during one run it was overwritten, keeping only the Puppet entry and removing everything else. Nothing changed between the previous runs and the one that re-created the crontab in terms of co...

Hi, I have to setup a scheduled task on a server, and I just read through some crontab docs. Now I'm confused. It's not so much the syntax of the cron job to define (I got that), it's more... how do I get to define it? Use a text editor (vi or the likes) to edit /etc/crontab directly? Or create some empty file in /etc/cron.daily or /etc/cron.hourly or the likes and th...

...ther or not a (freedesktop.org) specification is necessary for application scheduling software. The current UNIX Desktop user does not have an easy way to configure the tasks which he wants to schedule. Sure we have such a utility. And sure we can shout to our Desktop users "export EDITOR=vi; crontab -e" you moron, and RTFM!! And then that user wont ever use our desktop anymore. He will probably never figure out out to quit vi let alone insert a line in that spartan editor and forget it that he will actually lookup how the format of a crontab record looks like. And the user is right. He s...
