This raspberry Pi is running jessie lite. Raspberry Pi documentation says that cron and at jobs are disabled by default. There is a very odd fix recommended by some documentation in which one edits a file named
/home/pi/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.raspbmc.settings/settings.xml You supposedly edit that file and change a variable which allows cron and at jobs to now run. Since unix-like systems have had running crons for decades, is there a more conventional way to restore this functionality? There is something odd about needing kodi installed to make cron work. Kodi is not installed which is why I am asking before wasting all this disk space just to turn cron on. If you don't need kodi, could you just create that path and file with that one variable to act as a place-holder and enable cron? Thanks for all constructive ideas. Martin McCormick
