Make “startnedi.sh” an executable file, and create a directory to hold Nedi log files: = {{{ chmod +x /opt/nedi/startnedi.sh sudo mkdir /var/log/nedi me=`whoami`;sudo chown $me:$me /var/log/nedi }}} = 19. Schedule Nedi to run periodically (every 4 hours) using cron: = {{{ crontab -e 15 */4 * * * /opt/nedi/startnedi.sh # Discover and gather device configurations }}} Press “Control-O” and then “Enter” to save these changes. -or- Create a file in /etc/cron.d/ containing this information: {{{ 15 */4 * * * root /opt/nedi/startnedi.sh # Discover and gather device configurations }}} Both of these methods will cause the script to run every 4 hours at :15 past the hour beginning with 4:00am. ----
