Let us familiarized the value of crontab schedule:
[...]

Which reminded me of something. Long ago, I stumbled onto a website somehow. It is so useful, that I still use it !

https://crontab.guru/

See the part near the center " 5 4 * * * " that is inside a lighter colored oval? Just click on a value, and you can change it. You'll see.

I hope that this is helpful to somebody, someday.

Just a small tip: don't use "znc" and prefer "/usr/bin/znc"

crontab works without user logged, so env is not loaded, especially $PATH. So crontab may not found where znc is. If you give the full path, there is no trouble.

Thank you - I edited my post

Let us familiarized the value of crontab schedule:

Code:

┌───────────── minute (0 - 59)│ ┌───────────── hour (0 - 23)│ │ ┌───────────── day of the month (1 - 31)│ │ │ ┌───────────── month (1 - 12)│ │ │ │ ┌───────────── day of the week (0 - 7) (Sunday is 0 or 7)│ │ │ │ │* * * * *

here's some example of crontab for znc:

1. # Crontab entry to restart ZNC at midnight every day (which I personally use)

Code:

(crontab -l 2>/dev/null; echo "0 0 * * * /usr/bin/znc -r") | crontab -

2. # adding znc in startup (after system restart/reboot)

Code:

@reboot /usr/bin/znc

3. # it will rerun after 5 minutes

Code:

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/znc

4. # At the top of every hour

Code:

0 * * * *  /usr/bin/znc

note: Use

Code:

* * * * * /usr/bin/znc

carefully — if your script is heavy or has side effects, it could overload the system by running every minute.

#edited as pointed out by @CrazyCat ( from znc to /usr/bin/znc - full path )

Usually you don't need any crontab for znc as they are working as service, or in background.

Can you explain what you try to do ?

If you install the dev package of TCL (and I think last is tcl8.6-dev) you won't need to configure with the path as it will find the path of the libtcl8.6.so and tcl.h by itself.

Shell & Bouncer Help • Doing this helped me out, when I had the same thing.

2018-05-05T18:39:50-04:00

Installing these was what I did when I experienced a similar thing to you.

sudo apt-get install -y libtcl8.5 tcl8.5-dev

The one I needed at the time was was actually 8.4 though.
And after installation, I believe you can do this:

./configure --with-tcllib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcl8.5.so --with-tclinc=/usr/include/tcl8.5/tcl.h

...
If I just wasn't looking
in the right place for it, re-run ./configure using the
--with-tcllib='/path/to/libtcl.so' and
--with-tclinc='/path/to/tcl.h' options.

See doc/COMPILE-GUIDE's 'Tcl Detection and Installation' section for more
information.

You have posted the answer. That's it, quoted above.

Perhaps it will help if you visit: http://eggwiki.org/Main_Page
and scroll down to : Tcl related issues
and see:
"I installed the tcl-dev package but eggdrop doesn't find it on my new operating system (Ubuntu 14, etc.)"
and click on it, and read what you find there.
That's an example.

If you need help actually finding the files needed, then perhaps somebody here can give you commands to help you locate them. I can't do it off the top of my head. I either fumble around, or use google.

configure: error:

Tcl cannot be found on this system.

Eggdrop requires Tcl and the Tcl development files to compile.
If you already have Tcl installed on this system, make sure you
also have the development files (common package names include
'tcl-dev' and 'tcl-devel'). If I just wasn't looking
in the right place for it, re-run ./configure using the
--with-tcllib='/path/to/libtcl.so' and
--with-tclinc='/path/to/tcl.h' options.

See doc/COMPILE-GUIDE's 'Tcl Detection and Installation' section for more
