Add a new line on crontab -e
« on: August 16, 2013, 12:27:17 PM »
Hi Guys !!  ;D ;D

I just bought the Dlink DNS 325 for the remote backup functionality and surprise !! it's not working with my actual web storage provider .... so my idea is to add a new job on crontab -e with a nice rsync etc...
but when i tried to move in i got these nice characters when i push arrows on my keyboard...



in yellow

so i found the way of adding a new line in by this command line

Code: [Select]
crontab -l > file; echo '59 23 * * * /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/rsynctoOLS.sh' >> file; crontab file
but it's not working because when i restart the nas, the crontab list is reset to default and unfortunatly without my settings


do you know how can i fix this problem ?

thx for your help and sorry for my poor english.. ;D

I'm using FFP's startup script to amend the config files that get restored from Flash media on every reboot.

Code: [Select]
/ffp/etc/fun_plug.init is a systemwide script
Code: [Select]
/ffp/etc/fun_plug.local you can create as your personal script

/ffp at root level is a symlink. In reality FFP resides in
Code: [Select]
/mnt/HD/HD_xx/ffp
