cron problem
Hi, I wrote a perl script to get a news show I like. When I run it, it deletes yesterday's copy of the show, and downloads the new copy. The script works fine. I run the script as myself (charlie), charlie owns it, and it's chmod'd 0755. Works fine. I can't get cron to run it, though. Here's the cron process running on my machine: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ps auxwww | grep cron root 413 0.0 0.1 1364 892 ?? Ss5Jan07 0:06.57/usr/sbin/cron -s And here's charlie's crontab, to run at 7:17 mon - fri 17 7 * * 1-5 /media/democracy_now/get_new_show.pl ?

If not, I would suggest you put one there that points to you, i.e., if charlie is your logon name, have it point to charlie. Now, when your script either works or fails, you will receive a report of what transpired. -- Gerard Mail from '@gmail' is rejected and/or discarded here.
