init.d services
Hi,
I am new to forum --and a new kindle owner. I have rooted my kindle, and trying to write a script that will run periodically. I was planning to use cron for this, but I don't have it. I have crontab though, I have a crontab file (/etc/crontab/root). How do I restart cron? Actually how do I restart any service? |

I want to do it 1 or 2 times a day --so screensaver thing would be very frequent. I found crond, though.

well, what I say is that - there is nothing in /etc/init.d folder in Kindle PW.
