Hi all, I have a virtual private server, and I'm currently running Debian 5.0 distro of Linux. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to run a cron job (simply for learning purposes at the moment). Typing cron at the prompt, however, yields this message: cron: can't lock /var/run/crond.pid, otherpid may be 1130: Resource temporarily unavailable If any of you are Linux administrators, I could really use your help. I attempt to load a cron job by issuing the command: "crontab <nameOfFileForCronInstructions.cron>", where that name is replaced with the name of the file containing the instructions for the Cron (like when and how long it's supposed to run and all that good stuff), however it's not working at the specified times, and I think the error I'm getting is the problem. Thank you very much. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
