WiFi -- Installing cron/crond

$
0
0
Hello Everyone-

I just completed turning my Kobo WiFi (fw 1.9.11) with a semi-broken screen into a weather panel per the koboWeather python app.

I'm now trying to set up a cronjob for the task (via autoUpdate.sh), but cron does not seem to be installed:

Code:

[root@(none) koboWeather]# /mnt/onboard/.apps/koboWeather/autoupdate.sh
Creating cron directory
Copying crontab file
Starting crond
crond: applet not found

Code:

[root@(none) koboWeather]# crontab -e
crontab: applet not found


Does anyone have a solution on how to install cron/crond?

I've tried searching for this solution but no dice. If my google-fu is not up to par, links are appreciated. I've seen mentions of installing packages, but I see deb and dpkg are not installed out of the box.

Thank you all very much, and happy Gregorian New Year!

Additional info:
Code:

[root@(none) koboWeather]# uname -a
Linux (none) 2.6.28-515-g4eec389 #966 PREEMPT Tue Oct 5 10:29:45 CST 2010 armv6l GNU/Linux
