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.
