Re: cron job limits
Is your shell different from the account running the cron job? Is there any other jobs that might kill this cron job? Add echo statements to your script and save a log file. Be sure to redirect stderr as well as stdout to the log file. -Derek At 10:34 AM 6/13/2006, Jim Pazarena wrote: I have a fairly lengthy routine which runs each Sunday morning in a cronjob.

Add echo statements to the job, or change it to being a shell script that cron calls, which then runs all of your analog processes there. Make sure that MAILTO is set. If necessary, add a cronjob for /bin/false to check. :-) -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
