Are there any messages in your cron log? Are other cron jobs running okay?
In my experience, once you've eliminated the cron daemon and problems
with the config file, job failures result from problems in the
environment. Make sure that the system environment contains everything
it needs to run the client program. Common problems I have had include
the command path and dynamic library path.
I usually write a script that sets up the environment I need and then
calls the executable. Then in the crontab put the full path to the script.
Good Luck,
Dion

*Subject:* Cron job Failure
I have a dilemma that I hope someone else here has dealt with. I'm
using SUSE 10.1 and I have a scheduled cron job that fails to execute, but
runs fine from the CLI manually. Its a Scheduled Nessus scan with "safe
checks" enabled so I do get a prompt (see below) which doesn't require
any input but once scheduled this thing won't run. I'm doing everyting
as root so I don't think its a rights issue . Anyone have any ideas?
Command issued:
nessus -q 127.0.0.1 1241 user password
/home/osbfr01/iscan/testtarget.txt /home/osbfr01/iscan/test1.html
Prompt:
*** The plugins that have the ability to crash remote services or hosts

audit to be complete
Thanks in advance, Frank
