I just verified on my system that jobs created with "crontab -e" are remembered across reboots. "crontab -e" creates the crontab files under /var/spool/cron/crontabs. Make sure that directory isn't getting wipred out on reboot. crontab -e is for creating "user" cron jobs. "System" cron jobs are best placed in one of the /etc/cron.* directories. If you want it to run daily, (at 6:25 AM), just create a new shell script in /etc/cron.daily with the commands you want run at that time. If you want more control over what time of day it runs, etc, create a new file in /etc/cron.d Hope this helps! -- Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
