Hi there,

there is.
you have to create a file called root and place it into /etc/crontabs
so you have /etc/crontabs/root ( same syntax you would use on any other linux machine ). Crond should be installed by default, you have to make available when the machine boots up, and I think it is doable with /etc/rc.d/crond enable or something like that, just run /etc/rc.d/crond without any option.

p.s. a bit old though http://martybugs.net/wireless/openwrt/cron.cgi

Hi,

I recently started replacing our debian-based Pentium-90 server with a
TP-Link MR3220 running OpenWRT.
Thanks to the handy extroot mode as well as precompiled postgresql
binaries, the transition was a lot smoother than I had expected -
thanks a lot.

The only thing left is our weekly database-dump - a shell-script which
was executed by a /etc/crontab entry, every sunday running under the
user "postgres".
There does not seem to be a /etc/crontab-file available in OpenWRT -
can I install the "traditional" cron daemon or do I have to migrate
somehow?

Thank you in advance, Clemens
