Then edit /etc/crontab and add the line below:
*/1 * * * * root /data/Tims/UpdateTemp
I am no expert but Google is a good help for each step.
Dear Iridabike,
I'm tinkering around with the script that you wrote. Are you (or anyone else for that matter) familiar enough with the Ultra 4 hardware to know how to modify your script (if necessary) to make it work on an Ultra 4?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: P.S. - Where the heck are the system logs on this crazy thing? I looked in/var/log directory and all I see is alternatives.log apt dmesg pkg.log fsck LeafP2P.log news samba apache2 btmp dmesg.0 frontview journal netatalk.log readynasd and wtmp :-? ?
I commonly refer to myself as the "Linux Idiot" (not to be confused with the VILLAGE IDIOT). I know back in the day one could issue the command # tail /var/log/messages and watch for system related events, but apparently that is no longer the case on modern Linux OS's. . .
Google'ing the topic didn't help much as most of the search results say something like this: "Troubleshooting and Common Problems - Edits to a user's crontab and jobs that are run on their behalf are all logged by default to /var/log/syslog and that's the first place to check if things are not running as you expect." Unless it's hidden, I do not see that one :?:
