Hi! I setup a folder named '/etc/cron.twoweekly' and put few scripts into it. To ensure the execution of these files, I made a modification to the '/etc/crontab' file and added the following line 29 21 14,28 * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.twoweekly The extra two-weekly jobs I configured run well, except, that in case in the above timepoint my comp was not turned on, no retry happens after x minutes as it is the case for all of the original cron.hourly/daily/... stuff happens. Any idea how could get the wished effect and get the scripts run when next time my computer is switched on? Thanks, Pelibali
