PLI Garnet usage Crontab for autoupdate

[FullFTA]

Hello,

I want to use crontab to update information each day.
To do than I have first done a test
==>1. activate the menu : PLI image setup / Services to run / Start crond.
==>2. create a script shell named test.sh in /var/bin with :
#!/bin/sh
echo "ok" > /var/tmp/test ;
==>3. I have create a file named crontab in /var/spool/cron with :
SHELL=/bin/sh
* * * * * /var/bin/test.sh >/dev/null

But nothing appends, do you have any idea ?

Does your script run from a telnet connection?

Is the file set to be executable?

Thanks now it is working.
For crondtab you need only to type the command crond -e then you need to know the command for vi editor then it automatically build what you need and it is working. The PLI image is really the best !!

Anyone got any ideas?
