[arm-allstar] Cron Job

[Doug Crompton]

Since we are single user - root - there is probably no reason to do it that way. crontab is setup to use nano in our release and very easy to edit. Also using crontab there is validity checking. There is not if you just create a file on your own.

Best I can figure is something is happening  that causes it to stop updating the database so it lets the proxy to continue to work but the direct connections say they are unauthorized.  All I have to do is run astres.sh and everything works again, just as it should.  I’m getting tired of having to log in all the time to do this so what I would like to do is have it run astres.sh every night at say 02:00.  I am not a Linux guru, so could someone help point me in the right direction? Thanks for any help,Jeff KD0QCN
