Crontab in Haiku?

Forum thread started by Cerb on Mon, 2012-12-03 03:48

Hi!

Is there any analogue to linux cron in Haiku? And if there is, where to get it?
All I need is to auto-run simple shell script once per day.

Thanks!

Kind regards,

hello arfonzo. First, thank you for porting Cronie. I have the following error, trying to edit the task list:

/boot/apps/arfonzo-cronie/bin> crontab -e
no crontab for user - using an empty one
/bin/sh: /usr/ucb/vi: No such file or directory
crontab: "/usr/ucb/vi" exited with status 127
/boot/apps/arfonzo-cronie/bin>

If I create the task list in StyleEdit, where it must be saved?

Thank you very much!
