[beagleboard] Problems with crontab on Angstrom in Beagleboard xm

I noticed that problem too with the cronie package. Either create an empty /etc/init.d/functions file or install cronie-systemd to use systemd instead:

opkg install cronie-systemd

Actually, if you install the package initscripts, that will add the required /etc/init.d/functions file:

opkg install initscripts
