Topic: Crontab in sme6.0 - customising

[aussie]

I usually much with /etc/crontab until I get what I want, then mirror the changes into /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/crontab to keep them during regeneration.

Lines I add to the end I put in the template-end,
BUT sme6.0 has NO template-end ot begin!!

what gives? where are they or what substitutes for them?

TIA ROb

Looks as though all the template-end files have gone, perhaps they were surplus to requirements!

you should really create your own file in  

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

(create it if it is not there)

and then the

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

will merge the standard ones and the "custom" ones, and they will be preserved across re-boots and upgrades.

Hmmm ....
if they are now surplus they must be appearing from 'within' sme somewhere, whereas before they were clearly part of the 'obvious' build process - interesting!

Thanks for the idea Brian - true we can create an additional template but I still wonder at the structure change 'hiding' components.

Thanks again Brian ,
kind regards Rob
