Issues running cron in Docker on different hosts

Question

Im trying to get a docker container running to mange my cronjobs

im running a very simple cron as a test in a docker container using centOS 6.5 base

Answer 1

In my case, I debug the cron:

$ apt-get install rsyslog
$ rsyslogd
$ service cron restart
$ tail -f /var/log/syslog

And found NUMBER OF HARD LINKS > 1 error in logs.

The solution was to put this in entrypoint.sh

touch /etc/crontab /etc/cron.d/*

and boom!
