I have a script. As I am a root user, I can run it without a problem. I added that script to crontab in order to run as automatic. I entered in /etc/crontab and put down as below; */20 * * * * root /etc/scriptfile Despite root user, the crontab could not run above file. But I can run the same script in command line interface.
Which command are you using to run the script on the command line? Are you just typing out /etc/scriptfile into the shell prompt, or are you running "sh /etc/scriptfile" or running it via some other interpreter?
I am sure tha the crontab daemon is running. Also I can see the crontab try to run that script in /var/log/cron. /usr/sbin/cron[98727]: (root) CMD (/etc/scriptfile)
Which indication do you have that cron ISN'T running the script?
When I am a different user, I couldn't run the script and I got "access denied" What is the problem ?
Which file permission does /etc/scriptfile have? (ls -l /etc/scriptfile) Maybe the other user doesn't have read and/or execute permission?
