See FAQ http://www.tinycorelinux.com/faq.html#bootcodes
 tinycore {ssh|cron|syslog}          Start various daemons at boot

Just add cron to your boot options.

it's my menu.lst from /boot/grub:

title      ТініКореЛінукс TinyCoreLinux 1.2, kernel 2.6.26
root      (hd0,5)
kernel       /boot/bzImage quiet tce=sda6 restore=sda6 local=sda6
initrd       /boot/tinycore.gz

u can try this -


title      TinyCoreLinux 1.2, kernel 2.6.26 with cron
root      (hd0,5)
kernel       /boot/bzImage quiet cron
initrd       /boot/tinycore.gz

(hd0,5) is my tinycore partion. You may be have other.... Like (hd0,1). Change it to your place.

it is not working the "cron daemon" tab is toggle on after start up the system but now my crontab it's not run is there also a way to run once a ".sh" direct after start up or when starting up the system
