Hello guys, I have a problem with cron. I got a program for updating my
ip to a internet dns host and i set it up correctly. The program works.
Now with the program came a file that i putt in the /etc/cron.d dir
because the program instructed me to do that. Basically what I want to
do is to let the program run once a minute. The file I putt in the
cron.d dir contains these entries :
* * * * * root /usr/bin/ipdetect.sh
*/15 * * * * root /usr/bin/ipdetect.sh -p host -r browser -c
The above lines should be either be added to the /etc/crontab file.
Please be careful: Mohamed's approach of creating a file with that
content in /etc/cron.d/ is perfectly valid, and this is also the
right syntax for these files (with the user). Therefore, it
*should* work, and we need more information to debug his problem.
Cron reads more than /etc/crontab and the personal crontab files,
it also reads /etc/cron.d/*, as explained in the 2nd paragraph of
man cron.
