Hello, I don't know if I've gone dumb, or just missing some piece of the puzzle.
I used the cronedit script to start and stop transmission. (ISP charges for outside of midnight to 6am)
The script:
#!/bin/sh
##############################################################################
# ----[ editcron.sh ] ----
# script to keep cronjobs persistent (e.g. after reboot)
# w 22/10/08 horto
# ref/credit: http://tinyurl.com/5m2349 - thanks chumby!
#############################################################################
FFP=/mnt/HD_a2/ffp
export PATH=/ffp/sbin:/ffp/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin
CRONTXT=$FFP/etc/crontab.txt
# start with existing crontab
# note: on a fresh reboot, this will always have been reset to standard
/bin/crontab -l > $CRONTXT
# add cronjobs here preceeded by /bin/echo.
# don't forget to enclose them in double quotes.
/bin/echo "45 16 * * * /ffp/start/transmission start" >> $CRONTXT
/bin/echo "40 16 * * * /ffp/start/transmission stop" >> $CRONTXT
# install the new crontab
/bin/crontab $CRONTXT
# clean up
/bin/rm $CRONTXT
Problem is, cron does not seem to be working at all?
crontab -l =
59 1 * * * /usr/sbin/daylight&
30 2 * * * /usr/sbin/stime&
*/60 * * * * /usr/sbin/getdhcp&
32 2 * * * /usr/sbin/rtc -s
30 2 2 * * /usr/sbin/rtc -c
45 16 * * * /ffp/start/transmission start
40 16 * * * /ffp/start/transmission stop
No indication that it is working...16:43 and the daemon was still running. Looked in all the logs I could find, and can't find any indications.
I'm either missing something obvious, or?
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
