Can anyone supply detailed and full information on how to run webalizer every hour?

I expect the command is

59 * * * * /usr/bin/webalizer

but then what?

Also I need to start /opt/wwwroot/bin/ httpd on boot.

I think that is a correct entry for a crontab file, but I don't recall DSL providing cron (but you could check myDSL repository to see if something is available). In any case (as of v2.4) cron isn't running by default, so you would need to start it in /opt/bootlocal.sh.

You need to start this in /opt/bootlocal.sh which is run as part of the startup sequence. You also need to make sure that bootlocal.sh gets saved (according to the list in /home/dsl/.filetool.lst) so it gets restored at subsequent boots. If you are not already saving things at powerdown, you need to use a tool (I forget what its called) in the menus to save the specified files. After you do that the first time, it is automatic for subsequent powerdowns and bootups.

Thanks a lot -I installed kcron and entered the job as root. Don't see it working though. I think I also got apt-got crom


I also added my command lines to said boot file and that worked fine.

Did you start the cron daemon up from bootlocal.sh? You should be able to see it running with the ps command.

I gather then that you did a regular install rather than a frugal install or running as live CD? If so, you might have other options for starting things at boot than bootlocal.sh. I did a regular install for somebody over a year ago, but I don't remember details.
