On a CentOS server, when setting up cron job, i got following error.
[[email protected] ~]# crontab -e -bash: crontab: command not found [[email protected] ~]#
This is because cronie package not installed. To fix, run
yum install cronie
Now you need to set crond daemon to start on boot.
chkconfig --add crond chkconfig crond on
Now verify crond will start on boot, you need to look for 3:on
[[email protected] ~]# chkconfig --list crond crond 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off [[email protected] ~]#
Start crond with
service crond start
[[email protected] ~]# service crond start Starting crond: [ OK ] [[email protected] ~]#
