crond TCL version 11.1

[mocallins]

I've tried pretty much everything i found with a  google search of cron(d) and @reboot.

Even tried different spellings of @reboot (all lower case, all uppercase, just capital R),
nothing helps.
 the example "* * * * *  sh /home/tc/bin", works as expected and bothers you every minute.

Started with debug level 0, find no errors.

Hi mocallins

I've tried pretty much everything i found with a  google search of cron(d) and @reboot. ...

There is no command called  @reboot.  There is a  reboot  command and it needs to be run as root:

Code: [Select]

sudo reboot

I don't think busybox cron supports all those special timings. See busybox docs and the source for details.

The Wikipedia page for Cron describes @reboot as a non-standard definition, so it shouldn't be surprising if BusyBox doesn't support it.

Cronie is a crond implementation that supports it. There's no TCL extension for it, but maybe you could make one if you really need @reboot? Though don't forget about /opt/bootlocal.sh.

Hmmm, well i find references many places that it isn't supported, but nothing on the BusyBox site (busybox.net)
But then again some source code that shows it is implemented, however i don't know how it is implemetened in TinyCore.

I think whomever included it in TinyCore should do the lookup and find out if it is implemented.

I've done my due diligence to see if I'm doing everything correctly, and i feel that i have.
So now i'm reporting it.
