Reset board everyday at 5 am

[ortega]

Hi!

I want to make an automatic reset to a board everyday at 5 am.

I made the script resetbra

#! /bin/sh
tool rstcpl 0 15

This is working. Now I want to call this script everyday at 5 am so I need to put it in the crontab.

But I don't know how to put it in the crontab (which file?) because it's a Release 3.2.

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

crontab -l
crontab -e
for start,

iirc it was a cronCfg ? Sorry, memoria fragilis...

It is UNIX question, not 4400 question.

Code: Select all

man cron

[ortega]

man cron

man: not found

I'm in a release 3.2.

It's not only Unix. There's issues. I couldn't call the command rstcpl directly (it's not a Unix command).

It's working. Here's how I did it, for future reference:

in /usr2/mtcl i created the text file resetbra:

#!/bin/sh
date
/usr2/oneshot/mtcl/tool rstcpl 0 15

then I gave it permission to execute

chmod 777 resetbra

Then I entered in superusermode

Gave the command crontab and entered the line

0 7 * * * /usr2/mtcl/resetbra >> /usr2/mtcl/logreset.txt

ctrl+d to exit the edition of crontab

crontab -l shows the crontab file.

And everyday at 7 Am a reset is being made to the Bra card in the slot 0-15. The date and time of the reset is put in the log file logreset.txt.

Thanks for your answers and your help.

Don't use root account for tool commands.
You can have problems after to acces files (ie database, account files, etc...).
Use only mtcl (or mtch) account for this.
