Feature request: cron about sonoff-hack HOT 4 CLOSED

I did't test it but it should work.
If you look at the end of system.sh you can find an example.

mkdir -p /var/spool/cron/crontabs/
echo "  0  *  *  *  *  /mnt/mmc/sonoff-hack/script/clean_records.sh $FREE_SPACE" > /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
/usr/sbin/crond -c /var/spool/cron/crontabs/

Pay attention: at the moment, crond is started only if you configure free space check.

EDIT: Solved it. I changed to FREE_SPACE=1 directly in system.sh

Thanks for the quick response! I edited the config script /mnt/mmc/sonoff-hack/script/check_conf.sh with FREE_SPACE=1

Next I rebooted and created the folder and made crontab as in your example.
My snapshot script works fine with cron, but cron is not surviving a reboot.

The /var/spool/cron/crontab folder is gone.

Any advice? :)

You don't need to edit check_conf.sh, simply configure a "SD free space" value in Motion Events page.

check_conf.sh script checks the integrity of the configuration files at boot time.
If you change it nothing happens.

Ahhhh. I didn't look at that tab on the web configuration page. I solved it by a ugly hard edit in the config file, but now I know the correct way to do it :)

Thanks!
