Hi there. I'm using ozTivo image v3 and am trying to setup my first CRON job but can't get past the start line! I telnet to my Tivo and type crontab -e but all I get is 'command not found'.
Do I need to be in a specific directory?
Cheers, Phil

Telnet into your TiVo
cd /hack/etc/
cp crontab crontab.bak (make a backup of your original file.. just in case ;) )
joe crontab
This will open your crontab file in the joe editor.
Make sure you leave a blank line at the end of the file otherwise it won't work
once you save it.
Make your changes, then Ctrl-H and Ctrl-S to save.
I don't think you need to reboot your tivo after updating your crontab file, but do it just in case.
Hope this is some help.
Brilliant! Set a CRON and got my Tivo to reboot. Thank you very much for the help.
Cheers, Phil
