Location of root crontab?

[Havock2]

I'm trying to find the location of the root users crontab. I'm assuming that this is the one used by the web GUI. If not, I would like to find that crontab.

I would like to add a command to be run at boot.

My cats like to hit the power button on my machine. The command is not save between boots.

Code:

@Reboot sysctl hw.acpi.power_button_state=NONE

The system crontab, at /etc/crontab, is reset to the FreeNAS default at every reboot.

Why do you want to do this via crontab? Just set it as a tunable.

You create and edit scheduled tasks in the GUI. There's no other way.

You don't want to do that. Set it as a tunable.

For what the OP asked, I agree completely.
For the thing that is being done, it's much simpler to just disconnect the power switch. I did that with my servers when my kids were pushing buttons.

Is this correct?

It'd be more robust for you to try it and see.
