Vix 2 cron fix.....

[singhl]

Been trying to get my box to do an auto reboot each morning - just to keep it fresh, could not get the cron job to run, when I figured out the cron daemon (crond) was not running so I did the following:

Edit /etc/init.d/rcS

Add command :

/usr/sbin/crond &

At the end.


In /etc/cron/crontabs/root I have this line to reboot at 3.30am

30 3 * * * reboot -d -f –i

All works ok now - you will have to redo this fix if you update the software over the internet - probably.........
