cron example not understandable for noobs #247

Thanks for the complete rework of carddav2fb!

I used to sync the phonebook everynight with the original version of carddav2fb using the cronjob 0 1 * * * /usr/bin/php /home/pi/carddav2fb/carddav2fb.php run -i > /home/pi/fritzlog.log 2>&1

However I am unfamiliar with the ./ - command and your config.example.cron is not helping me.

So what will the right cron-command be? Is it this simple? 0 1 * * * /home/ncpadmin/carddav2fb/./carddav2fb run > /home/ncpadmin/fritzlog.log 2>&1

Probably you could clarify the example file for the cronjob!

OK - I did some research. I was not familiar that ./stands with: "execute from the current directory". Sorry about this. So adding a cron example


# Daily at 01:00 the Carddav contacts get send to the Fritz!Box
0 1 * * * bash /home/ncpadmin/carddav2fb/carddav2fb/run  > /home/ncpadmin/logs/fritzlog.log 2>&1

would be helpful though it should be basic knowledge.
