I am familiar to setup the cron scheduler using crontab -e command on my centos. But today I found one of my centos servers doesn't have this command I have tried to install this using yum install crontab but no luck. Then I tried yum install crontabs and it installed something ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Updating: crontabs noarch 1.10-11.el5 base 7.0 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 0 Package(s) Update 1 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 7.0 k Is this ok [y/N]: But still the crontab command doesn't work. If I do cat /etc/crontab then it shows below thing SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/ # run-parts 40 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 54 1 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily 14 3 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 38 1 16 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly What should I do to have crontab on that particular server?

Should I use automake tools (with the standard./configure, make, make install), to compile the required libraries, or is this a non- standard approach. CentOS; Debian Sarge. Let devel-list at arklinux dot org know so we can package the driver for. It's not included in Slitaz 3.0 but it's quite easy to install.

I am using CentOS release 5.2 (Final). Grep on cron shows: [root~]# ps -ef grep cron root 1 0 19:07 pts/1 00:00:00 grep cron starting cron service returns: [root~]# service cron start cron: unrecognized service. As seen in, the crontab package in CentOS is vixie-cron. Hence, do install it with: yum install vixie-cron And then start it with: service crond start To make it persistent, so that it starts on boot, use: chkconfig crond on On CentOS 7 you need to use cronie: yum install cronie On CentOS 6 you can install vixie-cron, but the real package is cronie: yum install vixie-cron and yum install cronie In both cases you get the same output./. ================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================== Installing: cronie x86_64 1.4.
