Crontab entry

Team,

I tried adding the following line to crontab - once via the luci webui and once via ssh and crontab -e.

In both cases the system log shows parse errors on this line - what am I overlooking?

@reboot /usr/bin/wget -O /etc/dnsmasq.d/90-blocklist-oisd.conf ``https://big.oisd.nl/dnsmasq2`` && /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart

The parse errors are:

Cheers - Will

The busybox crond does not support @reboot. Best to put your @reboot jobs in /etc/rc.local
