Hello $ cat /usr/sbin/checkre #!/bin/bash mkdir /tmp/reboot reboot now $ crontab -l 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/sbin/checkre >/dev/null = 2>&1 $ whoami root when the time comes, it makes the directory /tmp/reboot but it doesnt = 'reboot now'. Is this a security issue that forbids FreeBSD to reboot from a script = running by root's crontab? if yes, how can i bypass it? Thanks.
