I'm interested in setting up a cronjob. I'm using FC2, and using the working example, crontab -l returned "no crontab for <user-name>" , so using the suggested syntax I added myself to /etc/cron.allow, but trying crontab -l still get the same result. There are 2 files in /etc. /etc/crontab, and etc/cron.allow. /etc/crontab SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/ # run-parts 01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily 22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly Strangely on the other machine running FC2, I only have the crontab file in /etc, but on both machines in /etc I have directories for crond, cron daily. cron hourly, cron monthly, and cron weekly. Services shows that crond is running, and anacron is stopped. Any suggestions on how to set up a cronjob will be welcome.
