I am trying different options but everytime i make a change and type crontab mycron.txt in telnet it comes to the next promp without an error message. But it doesnot do what i want it to do. How can i even test if the cron tab is finding the file. Like the php file runs fine when run from a browser. But nothing is happening no matter what i cange in mycron.txt file.
Help is appreciated . please refer me to a tutorial where i can start form scratch as this is my first cron job. my mycron.txt file has the following one single line. * * * * * /home/harpreet/crontest.php I have the crontest.php file and the mycron.txt file under/home/harpreet folder.
