Hello All,
I'm having problems getting my freshly update FreeBSD 5.3 system to run my cron jobs. Logged in as root, I enter the job in root's crontab with the following command
crontab -e
I enter the job in the following format:
05 10 * * * /root/cronjobs/cvs-sup.sh
The script has the following permissions:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 255 Dec 13 10:39 cvs-sup.sh
I can run the script as root with no errors. I look in the /var/log/cron log and I don't see any attempt by cron to run the job. There is no error either. There are entries for the edit of the crontab:
Dec 14 10:03:36 bukowski crontab[632]: (root) BEGIN EDIT (root) Dec 14 10:03:45 bukowski crontab[632]: (root) REPLACE (root) Dec 14 10:03:45 bukowski crontab[632]: (root) END EDIT (root) Dec 14 11:04:00 bukowski /usr/sbin/cron[405]: (root) RELOAD (tabs/root)
But nothing else. So, I'm at a lost. I have the understanding that cron should immediately recognize any changes to the file, but it doesn't seem to be working. I even re-booted in desperation. Did I forget some small tid-bit that needs to change for this to work? I've checked the Handbook, the FAQ, Google and the mailing list, but I haven't seen any solutions.
Please CC me with your answer as I am not on the mailing list.
Thanks in advance, Andy Clements
