I've got an old RedHat 6.2 box that just does some IP aliasing and sharing
of a DSL line - The system is an old 486 with 32MB of RAM. I recently put a
script in cron to run every night. However, the script isn't being executed.
I checked all of the normal things:
Making sure the paths are correct and full
Executing the script manually
Checked root's mail for errors (none)
Rebooted
crontab -l to make sure it is actually loaded
I even put some basic scripts into cron to touch files, things like that.
It's not that the scripts are running and producing errors, but rather they
aren't running at all. A grep of ps aux shows that 'crond' is running. The
cronline is a simple:
01 11 * * * /usr/bin/lynx -dump http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/index.php
Does anyone have any ideas as to what in the world would cause cron not to
even attempt to execute the script? I also tried putting the lynx command in
a shell script and having cron execute the shell script. The shell script
was set to executable and ran just fine manually.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Is crond running?
