I installed the cron ipkg problem. However I'm having trouble getting it to start the cron daemon at bootup. I tried adding:
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung
to /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
and then just
/opt/sbin/cron
but neither seems to work.
However if I use either of the commands, when I telnet or ssh in I can start the cron daemon.
Anyone see what I'm missing?

#!/bin/sh
If you mean at the start of /usr/local/sbin/post-boot. I already have that. It starts dropbear (the ssh server) but not the cron server started afterwards.Quote:

Thanks for that, the crontab gave me some ideas.Quote:

The dropbear server starts ok at bootup but not the cron server. I also tried the commented /opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung but that doesn't work either.Code:#!/bin/sh
# Activate swap
swapon /dev/discs/disc0/part2
# Start ssh server
dropbear
# Run all active services - active means starts with S
#/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung
# Start Cron
/opt/sbin/cron
