Topic: cron / template weirdness

[Pete the Feet]

Hiya

Just setting up a cron job to email out a specific report every day at 17:45 ....

... so, according to the guidance at http://www.e-smith.org/custom/ copied everything from

/etc/crontab/ to
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/crontab/

made my changes, then ran /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/smb.conf

Did a reboot to make sure changes stick, and voila, they don't.

Re-read the guidance at http://www.e-smith.org/custom/ , searched these forums, currently sat scratching head ....

Anyone care to gently poke me in the right direction?

Pete

Run /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/crontab

You need to expand the template that you changed, not smb.conf

Thanks George.

That sorted it nicely.
