I have an embedded device running busybox
. The device has crond
installed and running, but has no atd
daemon. I need to schedule task to run at a given time (just once, not periodically). I know, that the "kosher" way is to use at
command, but I unfortunately don't have one. So, how can I use cron
as a workaround?
You can set up the cron to run your script, and when it succeeds, the script should just comment out or remove the cron entry.
