Hi Guys - any help would be appreciated. I want to create a cronjob which accesses the usb every 15 min. i used ftp and went into etc then cron then crontab. there is only a readme file. do i create a root file with notepad and what do i enter ??? I read somewhere i need to enter "*/15****touch/media/usb/keepalive.log"
is that it ? do i need to put the "" too ???
Thanks
This is because my picons get lost and from the forums i read that a cronjob is helpful :)
Put a file in /etc/cron/crontabs/ call it root
Create the file root with for example notepad, make sure it is named just root and not root.txt
*/15 * * * * touch /media/usb/keepalive.log
Good luck.
Hi Guys,
Could anyone tell me how to run a command that will run EPG Refresh every morning?
Found that I'm having to do this manually but before it allows me I need to reboot the box.. very frustrating.
Thanks

Create the file root with for example notepad, Do not use notepad. It produces DOS text files (lines and with <CR><LF>). You need an editor that can produce Unix text files (<LF> only).
notepad++ can do that.
Well, you could use notepad provided you transfer it as a text file via FTP.
