Thema: Help Using Cron to run scripts

Hi,

i have a picon downloader and updater script which works perfectly when I execute it using Jobmanager.

However, I would like it to run say once a week automatically.

In Info Panel I have added a cron job to execute the script once a week at a set time... however the job doesn't run!

the cron job is showing as added and running and in auto start mode.

Is is there anything else I need to do?

Which box and which openATV version?
Script should have owner:group root:root and permission 755.

Hi Reinerle,

Thanks for info. I'm using OATV 6 on an Edision OS3+.

What directory is the script located and I can try change permissions. ?

Thanhs

Script location is /usr/script
change script permissions by chmod 755 scriptfile

any chance of uploading the script?

Thanks for location Reinerle!

@Dsayers - script is 'Rats Picon Updater V1.2'. Fairly easily available if you google it.

Hope that helps.
