Hi,
I attempted to add multiple cronjobs via vertical by running multiple cronjob commands.
I noticed that each command overwrites the previous created cronjob, instead of adding to the cronjob file.
Is this intended?
Regards

Yes, currently only one cron job is supported.

This is a little problematic :S.
I tried adding the cronjobs manually, but it didnt run this morning, would adding them manually work? Perhaps i made a mistake somewhere.

After you modify /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root, you'll need to kill the running cron process by killing the pid stored in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root, and then restart it by running /usr/lib/vmware/busybox/bin/busybox crond.
To make it persist after reboots you'll need to modify /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh too. You can run the cron command to set up a cron job and then take a look at that file to see how it is done.
