#19225: fcron 3.0.4 fcrontab reports "No such file or directory" for everything ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: niels@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: fcrontab | Port: fcron ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by compconsultant@…): You need to make a file and submit to fcrontab, just like with cron. fcron will not currently make a new one, this is a problem with fcron, not the port. So, make a file, say named fcron, add your first entry, and submit like so: fcrontab fcron Once the users fcrontab exists, it will work (fcrontab -e). You might want to report the issue to fcron author as I had tried to work with him close to a year ago regarding this bug. The more the merrier. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19225#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

"he can create a new fcrontab running a simple "fcrontab", and then maintain it using "fcrontab -e" And -e Edit user's current fcrontab And The first form of the command is used to install a new fcrontab file I don't think fcron should report those errors though, so, this is why I suggested reporting to fcron author. We don't maintain the source code. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19225#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

When first creating a valid fcrontab file, and then registering it by means of calling `fcrontab file` it does indeed work as expected. The mere fact that it reported my $EDITOR binary as missing made me think of a bug straight away, sorry! I will ping the upstream devs about the confusing error message and possible documentation changes. Thanks! -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19225#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

It's nice to see users complain, rather than port maintainers as sometimes, they take it more seriously. fcron has not had an update in a long time though. I hope it is still developed as it's a lot better than cron. I would close this, but, I do not have access to do so. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19225#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
