Hello, I should be most grateful for any tips on how to get cron jobs to run on a Hardy Heron 8.04 server.
Basically, I want to reboot my server at a preset time once a week. Currently, when I am logged in as root, crontab -l produces the following: DISPLAY=:0.0 # m h dom mon dow command 30 09 * * 0-6 bash /sbin/reboot For the command to run, I have also tried leaving out "bash" and having merely "./sbin/reboot" and "reboot". But nothing works. I added the line "DISPLAY=:0.0" as it was a suggestion I found on the web when I googled this problem. What am I missing, if anything?
