Hi Michael,
Dariusz,
I don't get any error messages. If I launch cron/2, it just sets there. It does not start any of the programs listed in the cron2.dat file. They're mostly rar commands to do backups. I get no backup and no error messages.
Ahh, OK, got it. I have to say the cron/2 documentation is hard to understand (for me it was anyways) in that the cron2.dat file structure just didn't seem to make sense. Most likely that's b/c it does not seem to follow the Unix cron configuration, so any on-line references you find out there just don't seem to readily translate to the cron/2 port.
Having said that, here are a couple of examples that I was toying with:
1) do a continuous refresh of a NAS folder
0-59/5,0-23,1-31,1-12,0-7 * * * * OS2 BG FULL- g:\util\misc\refresh_folder.cmd V:\public\syslog
2) do a MONTHLY refresh of a NAS folder
* * 1 * * OS2 BG FULL- g:\util\misc\folder_refresh.cmd V:\public\syslog
3) Force the EVERY_5_MINUTES folder refresh for: V:\public\syslog
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,50,45,50,55 * * * * OS2 BG FULL- g:\util\misc\folder_refresh.cmd V:\public\syslog
Of the above three just the 3rd one worked, the first two I just couldn't make work, and those were defined using the Unix documentation which cron/2 claims to support.
Anyways, if you are still looking to use cron/2 I would say give that a try.
