I can't find cron in any of the extension repositories. Am I missing something?

Hi KeithA
crond is part of busybox.
crontab is part of busybox.suid.

Thanks Rich. I had installed util-linux because I need to do a uuid mount but it looks like util-linux doesn't include cron. Is there any way I can invoke the BusyBox cron with util-linux installed?

Cron is not part of util-linux.
If you add the bootcode “cron”. It will be started during boot.
Otherwise, just start it manually.

I've added cron to the bootcodes and can now run crontab so my problem is fixed.
Thanks for your help guys.
