Hi everybody,
sorry for the late reply if been on holiday ...
crontab -e is the best way to edit the crontab.
For the podcatcher is use a small script that adds a entry into the
crontab for root.
snip:
---------->8-------------->8--------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# little helper prog to add one line to the crontab
# without deleting all the other entries
#
PODCATCHER_CRONJOB="25 19 * * *
/system/overlay/apps/podcatcher/podcatcher.sh 2&>1 >/dev/null"
#
#
crontab -l root 2> /dev/null | grep "podcatcher.sh" 2>&1 >/dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "adding podcatcher cronjob to crontab"
crontab -l root 2> /dev/null > /tmp/root.crontab
echo "${PODCATCHER_CRONJOB}" >> /tmp/root.crontab
#
# playback the new crontab
crontab - < /tmp/root.crontab
cat /tmp/root.crontab
else
echo "podcatcher cronjob found in roots crontab skipping ..."
fi
---------->8-------------->8--------------
