Vladimir, I have seen 2 replies to questions today that were less than tactful, yours and one regarding awk & ksh If you post a message asking for help and someone tries to help then it is bad manners to be critical of that help.
I am replying to this because I also replied to your post with some basic info on the use of cron, the same as Robert did. If we both read your mail and thought you had minimal knowledge of cron then perhaps your post was at fault , not those who offer help. Glad to hear you have sorted the problem anyway John -----Original Message----- Sent: 04 February 2003 13:19 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Oh, really? I'm not beginner... Anyway, thanks...

Why the f&(#$^%* it wasn't working, I don't understabd... /var/log/cron was small (~30k), "df -k /var/log" gave me about 1 Gig of free space... Yet, cron was not working... ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 13:23 > $ps xea | grep crond > > Will show you if the cron process is running or not.... > > -rje > > > VB> Hello to everyone... > > VB> Red Hat 6.2 > > VB> How do I find out what is wrong with cron?
