Can you please: - show me what is returned by # ls -la /var/spool/cron/crontabs # ls -la /usr/bin/crontab # dpkg-statoverride --list /usr/bin/crontab - make scripts 755 and add a proper she-bang line (#!/bin/bash) and change /bin/bash /home/friedel/bin/fetchstuff to /home/friedel/bin/fetchstuff - could strace cron (with 'strace -p PID -f') and provide me with both the strace file and the cronjob script it tries to run (use private e-mail if there's sensitive information there) > Cronjobs in the personal crontab of the root user don't run as well, > however the system cronjobs (/etc/cron.daily and company) are being > run (my logs are rotated etc.).
