Auto-run of custom unix command (custom wget) on NAS OS
Hello, i am newbie in linux but i know ssh and basic and some advanced commands and i can handle many things with manual :-D Problem is, that i need to execute 1 basic linux command on my NAS unit ...
Not yet.
I know what CRON is. I am using it with relation to web sites, web hosting and running php scripts there.
But at NAS? I have meanwhile discovered following directories, in directory structure:
/etc/cron.d
/etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.monthly
/etc/cron.weekly
and file
/etc/crontab
Is there some reference how to use this feature ? All the directories, where i was looking for example file, or inspiration, were empty. Or some manual or else forum page, where it could be described?
I really need just to add that command above to be run each 1 hour. Or maybe 4 hours. Nothing else.
