Roger that.  Hopefully the link will help me out.  If not there is always classes to take and professors to annoy.

Micro Core / Re: Crontab

Have fun. Just remember that Core is not your normal distro.
It is a toolkit and requires that you do things manually that most distros do automatically.
For Example, if you want cron running at boot you need to add crond to your /opt/bootlocal.sh and add var/spool/cron/crontabs to /opt/,filetool.lst and do a backup.

Micro Core / Re: Crontab

Yup that did it.  Thanks for the link.  I chose the core because of the lack of GUI, the way it was back in the 80's.

killall crond
I suggest you read http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz

Core is not a good choice for learning Linux.

No I did not start crond, but I have now.  Now to figure out how to stop it short of a reboot.  Thanks for your help.

Programming & Scripting - Unofficial / Re: ezremaster does not add extensions from CD://cde/optional folder

« Last post by sebus on Today at 05:44:00 AM »

In fact none of the extensions (obviously loaded, as otherwise there would be no GUI) do not get listed in /tmp/tce/optional
Hence the reason ezremaster does not load them.

I expected they should be there in a working system

But of course I can copy them there before running ezremaster & all behaves as expected (at least by me)

Programming & Scripting - Unofficial / ezremaster does not add extensions from CD://cde/optional folder

« Last post by sebus on Today at 05:37:17 AM »

I remember that last time I used ezremaster, it did allow adding all extensions that exists in default iso /optional folder by simply clicking load button

Current on 5.3 does not input any of the extensions (unless I select them one by one from remote app server)

I need them in initrd for ease of pxe booting

Was that change on purpose?

I meant 'crontab --help' but either way it gives you a usage page.

Cron runs unattached to any terminal, so  your example can't display anything.
you would need
* * * * * date > /tmp/date


Did you start crond ?

TCB Q&A Forum / Re: Is it possible to fix tcz "search" function in TinyCore 3.x?

« Last post by littlebat on Today at 01:45:34 AM »

I modified "/usr/bin/search.sh" and "/usr/bin/provides.sh" in TinyCore Linux 3.x to make its tcz package search function working. I integrated them into my Open Source Project MobileMate( http://www.learndiary.com/mobilemate/ ), which is customized based on TinyCore Linux 3.7.1.

The modified files below:

"/usr/bin/search.sh"

Code: (bash) [Select]

#!/bin/sh
# $1 is the search word(s)
[ -f "info.lst" ] && rm "info.lst"
touch "info.lst"
[ -z "$1" ] && exit 1
keyword=$1
[ "${keyword}" != "${keyword#/}" ] && keyword="^${keyword#/}"
[ "${keyword}" != "${keyword%/}" ] && keyword="${keyword%/}$"

read TCEDIR < /opt/.tce_dir
[ -z "${TCEDIR}" ] && TCEDIR="/tmp/tce"
if [ ! -d "${TCEDIR}" ]; then
  sudo mkdir "${TCEDIR}"
  sudo chown root:staff "${TCEDIR}"
fi
TCZSLST_GZ="${TCEDIR}/3.x_tczs.lst.gz"

if [ ! -f "${TCZSLST_GZ}" ]; then
  TCZSLST_S1="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mobilemate/files/0.1/3.x_tczs.lst.gz/download"
  TCZSLST_S2="http://www.learndiary.com/mobilemate/releases/0.1/3.x_tczs.lst.gz"
  echo "Downloading tcz packages list file..."
  wget -cq "${TCZSLST_S1}" -O "${TCZSLST_GZ}"
  if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
    echo "Trying the next server..."
    wget -cq "${TCZSLST_S2}" -O "${TCZSLST_GZ}"
    if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
      echo "Download tcz packages list file failed. Exit."
      exit 1
    fi
  fi
  echo "Downloaded tcz packages list file \"${TCZSLST_GZ}\" ok."
fi

zcat "${TCZSLST_GZ}" | grep -i "${keyword}" > info.lst
sed -i "s/\ *$/.tcz/g" info.lst

"/usr/bin/provides.sh"

Code: (bash) [Select]

#!/bin/sh
# $1 is the filename
[ -f "info.lst" ] && rm "info.lst"
touch "info.lst"
[ -z "$1" ] && exit 1
keyword=$1
read TCEDIR < /opt/.tce_dir
[ -z "${TCEDIR}" ] && TCEDIR="/tmp/tce"
if [ ! -d "${TCEDIR}" ]; then
  sudo mkdir "${TCEDIR}"
  sudo chown root:staff "${TCEDIR}"
fi
TCZSPLST_GZ="${TCEDIR}/3.x_tczs_provides.lst.gz"

if [ ! -f "${TCZSPLST_GZ}" ]; then
  TCZSPLST_S1="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mobilemate/files/0.1/3.x_tczs_provides.lst.gz/download"
  TCZSPLST_S2="http://www.learndiary.com/mobilemate/releases/0.1/3.x_tczs_provides.lst.gz"
  echo "Downloading tcz packages' files list file..."
  wget -cq "${TCZSPLST_S1}" -O "${TCZSPLST_GZ}"
  if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
    echo "Trying the next server..."
    wget -cq "${TCZSPLST_S2}" -O "${TCZSPLST_GZ}"
    if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
      echo "Download tcz packages' files list file failed. Exit."
      exit 1
    fi
  fi
  echo "Downloaded tcz packages' files list file \"${TCZSPLST_GZ}\" ok."
fi

zcat "${TCZSPLST_GZ}" | grep -i "$1" | while read line; do
  tcz=${line%%/*}
  files="/${line#*/}"
  [ -n "$(echo  "${files}" | grep -i "$1")" ] && echo "${tcz}" >> info.lst
done
sed -i "s/\ *$/.tcz/g" info.lst

A tip:
You can add "/" at the begin or the end of the search keyword to restrict the search scope.
