dcron not cronning

[count]

I've installed gentoo but my cron.{hourly|daily|weekly|monty|etc} isnt runing as far as I can tell ... I wrote a script to do a backup, but its not running. It works fine if I run the script expclicitly.

I did 'crontab /etc/crontab' as root and 'crontab -l' yields the expceted results.

I also can run 'run-crons' and it exectuts the script fine

anyknow know whats wrong?


I would be greatfull if someone could help

Thanks!

though it isn't in the install manual you have to add it with "rc-update add dcron default" and if you don't want to reboot run "/etc/init.d/dcron start"

I didnt remember seeing anything about an init script for dcron
