execute root cron jobs
Hi
i want to set up a cron job for updating Debian etch in /etc/cron.hourly i have created the update file and made it executable. In it i have entered apt-get update && apt-get upgrade now as normal user typed crontab -e and entered 0 * * * * ./etc/cron.hourly/update every hour to run the update script now this doesn't work and i believe at a single glance you know why it doesn't work. Is it because the apt-get command is executed only by the root and im a normal user or it is something else ? regards |

Either put that in root's crontab with sudo crontab -e -u root, or put a small script in /etc/cron.hourly, following the example of files there, or install the cron-apt package which will do this for you. |
