Cause cricket doesn't have a valid home directory. However, you can simply copy the /var/cron/tabs/cricket to /tmp. Remove the time colums, then run: su -m cricket /usr/bin/env -i HOME=/nonexistent PATH=/bin:/usr/bin \ /bin/sh /tmp/cricket That's the best approximation of how cron runs the commands. If you don't see anything in the cron logs however, it may be an issue with the timestamps specified not yielding any runs. Then it would help to see the actual crontab file. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
