| Post subject: | Crontab Issue |
In an attempt to key my remote functioning properly, I've entered the following into /etc/crontab * * * * * root ivtvctl --reset -ir Running this command resets the IR on the PVR-150 every minute. I would like to do this because the remote constantly just spontaneously stops working. This command needs to be run to get it to work again. The only problem is, for some reason, this command is not being run. What have I done wrong? |

Hi, If that is your crontab entry  Read all about it on a linux box near you... $ man crontab
Basic crib sheet, also command needs full path #min 0-59 * hr 0-23 * day 1-31 * month 1-12 * day of week 0-6(Su-Sa) * /xxx/xxx/cmd example #7run mythlink.sh to make pretty tv links 5,35 * * * * /usr/local/bin/mythlink.sh Note, each user has their own crontab however may not have the permissions unless it is root's crontab.
