Hi there! Welcome to my blog. My name is Ivan. I am a Dutch IT Professional working as Principal IT Consultant. While working with my Ubunu JeOS 8.04 virtual machine I found out that crontab was missing. Crontab was not included by default. Crontab is the linux scheduler to run things on specific times you define.
Cron is a daemon used for scheduling tasks to be executed at a certain time. Each user has a crontab file, allowing them to specify actions and times that they should be executed. There is also a system crontab, allowing tasks such as log rotation and locate database updating to be done regularly. Read more here..
Oeps seems crontab is missing on my system.
-bash: crontab: command not found
How to install crontab on Ubuntu JeOS?
- sudo apt-get install cron

If crontab is missing the cron package was skipped… Bad media? Bad package? Maybe other packages are skipped. If this happened it’s best to check your install.
