[Nix-dev] How do I get the system crontab to work?
I see here that there are upstream issues with cron as far as setting user
crontab entries:
http://lists.science.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2014-September/014120.html
But I'm having trouble setting the system ones as well. I think if they didn't
work
at all a lot of other things would fail, so I must be setting something wrong.
This
simple test doesn't put any files in /tmp or send any emails:
services.cron = {
enable = true;
mailto = jef...@gmail.com;
systemCronJobs = [
* * * * * test ls -l / /tmp/cronout 21
* * * * *
/nix/store/wc472nw0kyw0iwgl6352ii5czxd97js2-coreutils-8.23/bin/test
/nix/store/wc472nw0kyw0iwgl6352ii5czxd97js2-coreutils-8.23/bin/ls -l /
/tmp/cronout 21
];
};
I've checked that it does get written to /etc/crontab:
SHELL=/nix/store/xlxjcjq3bnbwnzq82irlzwxhmx6fvc2w-bash-4.3-p33/bin/bash
PATH=/nix/store/fpqvi360cimx3h1kxdxfvkyip52d1i8y-system-path/bin:/nix/store/fpqvi360cimx3h1kxdxfvkyip52d1i8y-system-path/sbin
MAILTO=jef...@gmail.com
NIX_CONF_DIR=/etc/nix
* * * * * test ls -l / /tmp/cronout 21
* * * * * /nix/store/wc472nw0kyw0iwgl6352ii5czxd97js2-coreutils-8.23/bin/test
/nix/store/wc472nw0kyw0iwgl6352ii5czxd97js2-coreutils-8.23/bin/ls -l /
/tmp/cronout 21
And that the test and ls binaries are on that PATH. Anything else I should try?

So, it happens that I will travel through Europe in August and September. Actually, I will travel by bike from Donau-Eschingen (where the Donau originates) to the Black Sea, if I get so far. Maybe I can meet some nixers while traveling? Would be a pleasure to meet some of you for a drink or something, if we can arrange that! Contact me! Besides: I'd love to attend at a nixos meetp, NixConn anyone? :-P ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
