Ubuntu: JeOS 8.04 crontab missing
While working with my Ubunu JeOS 8.04 appliance I found out that crontab was missing and not included with default installation . Crontab is linux scheduler to run things on specific times you define.
Cron is a daemon used for scheduling tasks to be executed at a certain time. Each user has a crontab file, allowing them to specify actions and times that they should be executed. There is also a system crontab, allowing tasks such as log rotation and locate database updating to be done regularly. Read more here.
-bash: crontab: command not found
Oeps seems it is missing on my vm.

To install it run:
- sudo apt-get install cron
