It seems like crond doesn't work

When I start following command there is effect - zipkin-dependency-yyyy-mm-dd index at elasticsearch appears for a current day:

docker run -d --env STORAGE_TYPE=elasticsearch --env ES_HOSTS=elastichost --env ES_NODES_WAN_ONLY=true openzipkin/zipkin-dependencies

but when I start this command (based on your example) there is no any effect at all even if I waiting for a long time:

docker run -d --env STORAGE_TYPE=elasticsearch --env ES_HOSTS=elastichost --env ES_NODES_WAN_ONLY=true --entrypoint /usr/sbin/crond openzipkin/zipkin-dependencies -f

I think there are several issues. What i had to do, to make cron tasks work:

Run docker container with user = root

Make Scripts in /etc/periodic/ executable. - Execute permissions where missing.

Add cd /zipkin-dependencies before start-zipkin-dependencies ... in the cron scripts

Hi, it seems like this issue is still open with 2.6.4: Zipkin-Dependencies Container startet with entrypoint “crontab -f -d 8”

gives me:

docker logs zipkin-dependencies-itu1

crond: crond (busybox 1.31.1) started, log level 8
crond: root: Permission denied
