Hi all,
I got myself a DNS-343 (have two DNS-323s) . Got ffp running with no issues. So far so good. I want to add stuff to cron to run at periodic intervals, but for some reason I am not able to update crontab when the system boots. I have a scripts that I put together, similar to ones I found on on the net, to "programmaticlly" update crontab when the system boots. When I run the script manually from the command line it works; but for some reason it does not work when the system boots. I have it working correctly on my DNS-323 systems. Very confused. Here is the script - pretty simple ...
# PROVIDE: updateCrontab
# REQUIRE:
# define the tmp file to use
crontabFile=/mnt/HD_a2/ffp/tmp/crontab.txt
# add header info
cat > $crontabFile << EOF
# crontab for root
# Format is
# min hour dayOfMonth month dayOfWeek command2Execute
EOF
# get current crontab entries
/bin/crontab -l >> $crontabFile
# add my stuff
cat >> $crontabFile << EOF
# backup video every 2 days starting from the 1st
# @ 2:05 am
5 2 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29 * * /mnt/HD_a2/ffp/bin/rsync -a --delete -v -v /mnt/HD_a2/video/ /mnt/HD_b2/video > /mnt/HD_a2/ffp/tmp/rsyncLog-video.txt 2>&1
# backup audio every 2 days starting from the 2nd
# @ 2:05 am

EOF
# update crontab
/bin/crontab $crontabFile
# remove tmp file
#rm -f $crontabFile

I had to add a delay to my script on a DNS323 in order for it to "stick" on a reboot. You could try adding "/ffp/bin/sleep 3" to the top of the script. Not a big deal since rebooting is rare.
