Re: crontab

"Ah, that may explain it.  Is G: a network drive?"

That's right. It's a Dos network drive, and in fact, the response of "ls" is
very long.
I installed cygwin for all users.
So I don't know how to manage because my script works
by hand!! What are the differents between the cron and the handy execution??
Perhaps including a loop to wait for the answer, will solve my bug??

"You should also look in the Windows Event Log"
it looks good, cron started...

my crontab:
26 * * * * /bin/csh -xv /cygdrive/c/sismalp/acqdata/es.csh >> /tmp/crontst2 2>&1
the file /tmp/crontst2 remains empty.

my script es.csh:
#!/bin/csh -f
cd /cygdrive/c/sismalp/acqdata/DATA
set acq = /cygdrive/g
set list = `/bin/ls $acq`
echo $list >> toto
exit

my file toto increase of one empty line at each execution, instead of a simple
directory list.

vi /var/log/cron.d:
[1564] cron started.

I can't see any error logs.

Re: crontab

Hello,
thanks for your response. I've tried your command line but with no success.
When i simply do this:

* * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /tmp/crontst

the file crontst is created and i see each time the prog was executed in
different line.
But it's the only thing i can do!! When i run another simple program. It works
well only when i execute it by
hand, and it does nothing with cron!!

If you have more ideas, it will help me.
