dhicks Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 How do I schedule a Squid restart on NetBSD for example at 7:00am? Just get cron to run "/etc/init.d/squid restart" at 7am every day. -- David Hicks
EduTech Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) You could set up a cron job run at some point in the day. command i believe is /etc/init.d/squid restart James. Edit: well it appears i was right, just too slow ... (thanks for confirming that though david) I cant test it, but if that command dont work try /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid restart Edited February 25, 2009 by EduTech
wesleyw Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Looks like mine is a little too Bespoke. /etc/init.d does exist for a start. Wes
dhicks Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Looks like mine is a little too Bespoke. /etc/init.d does exist for a start. Woops, sorry, BSD - try /etc/rc.d instead? -- David Hicks 1
wesleyw Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Currently my cron looks like this: # # $NetBSD: cron,v 1.6 2004/08/13 18:08:03 mycroft Exp $ # # PROVIDE: cron # REQUIRE: LOGIN # KEYWORD: shutdown $_rc_subr_loaded . /etc/rc.subr name="cron" rcvar=$name command="/usr/sbin/${name}" pidfile="/var/run/${name}.pid" load_rc_config $name run_rc_command "$1" Do you know where/what I have to do to add that in and get it to run at a specified time? Sorry I'm really now well versed in *nix Wes

wesleyw Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 No I meant how do you get the cron job to start up at at specified time? Wes
dhicks Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) how do you get the cron job to start up at at specified time? Handily cribbed from Webman's post to the "Backing up Zimbra" thread: To edit the cron schedual (do this as root user, or use sudo): crontab -e And add something along these lines to the end of the file: 0 7 * * * /etc/rc.d/squid restart You might want to check the man page for the commands above - "man cron" and "man crontab" should get you all you need to know. -- David Hicks Edited February 25, 2009 by dhicks 1
