Hahaha.
Read the board rules! No support for softcams or modules.

Any instruction is called the right way (every minute? you may know).
0755 is not the right filemode for a config - it should be 0644.

My running config is placed in

/etc/cron/crontabs/root

and calls ntpdate-sync every 30 minutes:

Code:

30 * * * *    /usr/bin/ntpdate-sync silent

thanks

I wrote to /usr/cron/crontab/root >> attributes 644

1* * * * /usr/bin/ntpdate-sync silent

wanted cron to run this every minutes/60 seconds

the in telnet

HTML-Code:

/etc/init.d/busybox-cron start

HTML-Code:

update-rc.d busybox-cron defaults

HTML-Code:

/etc/init.d/busybox-cron start &

still no luck

Nope.

If you use the built-in init.d script in OpenATV for softcam, it will restarted as follows:
* * * * * bash /etc/init.d/softcam restart

If you use "/etc/*.emu" file, then it's more difficult. First, you will find all arguments to run oscam with the command "top -c | grep oscam". Then write the command-line for killing the service and restarting into CRON file:
* * * * * killall -9 oscam && /usr/bin/oscam command_line_arguments

After changes in the "/etc/cron/crontabs/root" file, just restart the cron service "/etc/init.d/crond restart". Or stop the CRON service before changing the configuration and then start the CRON service after changing the configuration.

Restart every minute for Oscam is stupid ! Apparently you was thinking of finding out if the softcam service was freezing every minute and then restarting this service again. This can also be found elsewhere (try Google).

Unfortunately, you have to visit another discussion forum. Unfortunately, the softcam discussion is forbidden here (even though OpenATV directly supports softcam autostart scripts).

Thanks s3n0 for the insightful post

Still prooving stubborn

/etc/cron/crontab/root attributes set to 644

then I have this in root file

HTML-Code:

* * * * * killall -9 softcam && /usr/bin/softcam -b -r 2 -c /usr/keys/softcam

I used softcam

I believe you know what i mean

to be started every minute >>> do i put 1 0 or *

Thanks in advance!

Sorry. Your Problem is not cron with cronjobs, but softcam-controll.
Therefore here now ist the end reached...
