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.

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.

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).

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 configuration. I''m running Puppet 2.7.6. Fri Jul

Package: logcheck-database Version: 1.2.54 Severity: normal Hello, it seems crontab reports it's whole path in syslog : May 6 16:00:03 eckmul /usr/bin/crontab[9722]: (root) LIST (nobody) I don't have other messages from it in my logs, so I can't comment on the other lines in /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/cron , but I had to modify the LIST one with /usr/bin/crontab Thanks, --

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 then edit it

Hi, What's the best/safest way to "cat" the following job into crontab? */3 * * * * /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_megaraid_passive.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 I am used to doing this manually via crontab -e, but now I simply have too many centos servers to build in a given week (get to toss another 120K at some more 2U chenbro/tyan/amd64's -w000ooo). -karlski

Hi there fellow hackers, geeks and others who want the UNIX desktop to succeed. I bring forward the question whether 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
