 Posted: Sun Mar 28, 2004 2:46 am Post subject: Dynamically cron lines |
 |
|
Hello mates, i'm doing a software and I want to insert cron lines dynamically but I don't know how to do.
I know that to insert lines I have to use command but i can't use it for a dynamical use.
Is there any file where I can insert lines like | Code: | | echo "line that I want" >> cronfile |
Thanks a lot

I think that you mean
| Code: |
/var/spool/cron/user_name |
It is the place where crontabs are stored.

Don't know, don't use it.
I use only | Code: | | /etc/cron.daily/ .......hourly ...... |
and
But maybe you can put there some scripts ......but I am guessing.

I am afraid that yes, it is the only place where you can put your crontabs.
You must use crontab if you are not root.

you can do it in 2 steps.
| Code: |
$ echo "* * * * * do_something_here" > /tmp/crontab
$ crontab /tmp/crontab
|
you could put this into a shell script and use that.
