Raspberry Pi (RaspBMC) cronjobs not working

Question

I have attempted adding cronjobs via SSH at /etc/crontab and also crontab -e. Neither one seems to work at all!

Answer 1

Activate cron jobs in Raspbmc Per default running cron jobs is deactivated in Raspbmc and there are two ways to activate them. - In the Raspbmc GUI under Programs -> Raspbmc Settings -> System Configuration -> Service Management -> Cronjob Scheduler - Via SSH/FTP by modifying sys.service.cron value to “true” the settings file under /home//.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.raspbmc.settings/settings.xml

Answer 2

Since xbmc has been renamed to kodi (version 14.x), the new path is

/home/pi/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.raspbmc.settings/settings.xml
