Re: [Astlinux-users] Cron jobs not running

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Hi David,

Busybox crond uses "/var/spool/cron/crontabs"
--
# ls -l /var/spool/cron/crontabs 
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            16 Jul 23 17:42 /var/spool/cron/crontabs -> /mnt/kd/crontabs
--
which is (should be) symlinked to "/mnt/kd/crontabs"
--
# ls -l /mnt/kd/crontabs
total 4
-rw-------    1 root     root           358 Oct 29  2017 root
--

Also see if "crontab -l" shows what you expect.

BTW, Thanks, I did not know "/etc/cron.d" was being installed, we should remove that.
