vi Method
The files Crontab and shell script are created and the file /etc/crontab_files is modified as
indicated.
To use cronD:
Step 1: Create the files for every process that it will execute:
Step 2: Create a line in the file /etc/crontab_files for each process to be run.
Step 3: Update the system.
The next step is to update the system with the modified data. Make sure the file
named /etc/config_files contains the names of all files that should be saved to flash.
Step 4: Run saveconf.
The command saveconf, which reads the /etc/config_files file, should then be run.
saveconf copies all the files listed in the file /etc/config_files from the ramdisk to
/proc/flash/script.
Step 5: Reboot the BLACK BOX ® Advanced Console Server.
Browser Method
To configure CronD with your browser:
Step 1: Point your browser to the Console Server.
In the address or location field of your browser type the Console Access Server’s IP
address. For example:
http://10.0.0.0
Important! After creating the shell script and crontab file and modifying the
crontab_files file, make sure the file named /etc/config_files contains the
names of all files that should be saved to flash. Run the command saveconf
after this confirmation.
