Hi Igor, > We can't tell you where you are wrong until you tell us what you mean by > cron "not working"... Does the crontab fail to execute correctly (i.e., > every minute after 10:00?
first I'm sorry for my poor English... in order to explain you what I mean when I wrote "cron does't work", I try with the same command in my linux box (debian sid) $ uname Linux $ export VISUAL=zile $ crontab -e ...edit the file.. $ crontab -l * 8 * * * /bin/date >> /home/calox/tmp/date.out 2>&1 $ date Mon Oct 10 08:48:36 CEST 2005 $ ls -l /home/calox/temp total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 calox calox 180 Oct 10 08:54 date.out $ cat tmp/date.out Mon Oct 10 08:49:01 CEST 2005 Mon Oct 10 08:50:01 CEST 2005 Mon Oct 10 08:51:01 CEST 2005 Mon Oct 10 08:52:01 CEST 2005 Mon Oct 10 08:53:01 CEST 2005 Mon Oct 10 08:54:01 CEST 2005 for me, in this example, cron "works", i.e. in ~/tmp directory I found the file date.out. In cygwin, with the same crontab, the ~/tmp dir is empty. > I think, besides fixing the above typo, reading "man 5 crontab" would be > helpful. Well, I read the man, the README in Paul Vixie source code, and cron.README but I didn't find where it's teh problem.. > HTH, > Igor > -- > http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ > |\ _,,,---,,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] > |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. > '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
