This as to be the longest running thread since the great "Good
answer/bad answer" debate.
So Mazhar:
1) In who's crontab file have you put this entry?
2) Does this user exist in cron-allow?
3) Do you need to HUP crond to get the cron -rescheduled?
4) Have you any access to the cron log, if so what does that say?
5) Try printing out the environment variables at the start of the
script incase there is something restricting the job. Something like
the bit below (untested).
foreach my $k (%ENV) {
print "$k -> $ENV{$k}\n";
}
Is there any any output from the command, either from cron or from
the command line? Can we see a sample please and the output from the
above.
Thanx.
Dp.
