1. I put an entry into Cron(via Webmin) to start a Mondo Rescue session about 4 minutes from now.
2. My 'crontab -e':
1 12 * * 1 /usr/local/share/mondo/mondoarchive -Oi -d /mnt/test -F -E "/mnt/test" -0
3. It's now 1 minute past when Mondo Resuce should have started, my 'ps -ef':

it's not there.
4. Here is what my cron log has printed:
Sep 22 12:10:00 jantz CROND[28628]: (root) CMD (/etc/mrtg/mrtg_run; /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg >/dev/null 2>/dev/null)
Sep 22 12:10:00 jantz CROND[28629]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/clarkconnect/scripts/servicewatch >/dev/null)
Sep 22 12:11:01 jantz CROND[28743]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/share/mondo/mondoarchive -Oi -d /mnt/test -F -E "/mnt/test" -0)
Sep 22 12:13:05 jantz crontab[28875]: (root) BEGIN EDIT (root)
Sep 22 12:13:24 jantz crontab[28875]: (root) END EDIT (root)
It looks like it started but according to the 'ps -ef' it's not there. I also expected mondo.scratch and tmp.mondo directories in the directory where the ISO is being written but see none.
Now if I have the Cron entry for Mondo Rescue started immediately, it runs. If I manually type it in the terminal, it runs. But it won't run via a scheduled Cron. I did try the a cron script that was listed on the Mondo Rescue site and got the same thing. I also did a Google search several times for this problem but didn't find anything relevant.
Thanks, Kent
