[gentoo-user] vixie cron

[Teng Wang]

Hi there,

I am using vixie cron to maintain my scheduled
jobs. Everything is just fine other than one. I find that
when I use, for example, 0 * * * *  /usr/bin/eix-sync to
update the portage everyday, the cron works without any
problem. But I was told by manpage I could still use @daily
instead. So I tried but failed. The system does nothing at
all. It is not a big issue, but I just want to make
sure it has nothing to do with my setting. Furthermore, I
still want to start some program like fetchmail after
reboot. Then I put @reboot in crontab. I also tried, and
failed. Does anybody have any idea about this?

Best,
