Hello.
I am using the /etc/crontab files and it works well.
I'd like to add the content of the file located at
/test/crontab
to each time cron runs.

Is there a way to register that /test/crontab? Should I add a special line to the /etc/crontab to call a the /test/crontab file as well? I am not sure what to do and I don't want to break anything.

Thank you

Hello,

from man:



So you can:
1. place your other crontabs to /etc/cron.d
2. symlink /test/crontab to /etc/cron.d/, for ex. ln -s /test/crontab /etc/cron.d/mynewcrontab
