I would like run a cron (Clock server)
I create /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
In root file I write this
1,5,10 12 1-31 1-12 0 /root/RemoveTrends
then in a shell type
cron -d/var/spool/cron -v
but no message appears , and the script RemoveTrends don`t run
Could you help me please? |

What version of QNX?
Some earlier versions of QNX 6 had problems with cron.
When you start "cron", you don't really need those options unless you put your crontabs else where.
Based on your crontab file, script RemoveTrends only runs on Sunday noon at 12:01, 12:05 and 12:10. |

I noticed this as well cron doesn't seem to use the profile.
I think it may use the env vars. from /etc/system/sysinit but have not tested (e.g. a fix would be to put /usr/sbin/ into your PATH in sysinit (i think).
This also stung me in the tail and I done the same as you to fix.
edit: P.S. necro? much |
