WiFi -- Installing cron/crond
Hello Everyone-
I just completed turning my Kobo WiFi (fw 1.9.11) with a semi-broken screen into a weather panel per the koboWeather python app. I'm now trying to set up a cronjob for the task (via autoUpdate.sh), but cron does not seem to be installed: Code:
[root@(none) koboWeather]# /mnt/onboard/.apps/koboWeather/autoupdate.sh Creating cron directory Copying crontab file Starting crond crond: applet not found Code:
[root@(none) koboWeather]# crontab -e crontab: applet not found Does anyone have a solution on how to install cron/crond? I've tried searching for this solution but no dice. If my google-fu is not up to par, links are appreciated. I've seen mentions of installing packages, but I see deb and dpkg are not installed out of the box. Thank you all very much, and happy Gregorian New Year! Additional info: Code:
[root@(none) koboWeather]# uname -a Linux (none) 2.6.28-515-g4eec389 #966 PREEMPT Tue Oct 5 10:29:45 CST 2010 armv6l GNU/Linux Last edited by laidig; 01-01-2014 at 03:16 PM. |

A cron job would be no use for a suspended device, which should be most of the actual runtime of a Kobo. Look into rtc alarms, which have been successfully used for this purpose on other similar devices (namely, Kindles), at the very least.
