No crontab command

Postby pyrotecnix » Tue May 10, 2016 11:04 pm

Hi guys,

I've just installed ArchLinux ARM on my rapsberry pi.
I wanted to add schedule task with crontab-e but I've got a "command not found: crontab"

So i try a ls /etc | grep cron and I have nothing, same thing for ls /usr/bin | grep cron

ArchLinux (arm) is not shipped with cron.
Systemd has timers: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/Timers
Or cron can be installed separately if you wish: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/cron
