The scripts can be executed by root and run fine with root. Do they need to be permissible by anything else? I am not at home at the moment but I can post the exact permissions on those scripts later.

I found another problem with Mandrake 9.2 that I can solve. My crontab doesn't run. Below is what my /etc/crontab file looks like. I have backup routines that are supposed to kick off and create tar balls of my files. But nothing happens. I don't get any emails from Cron saying that ran. Any ideas why Cron isn't running? /etc/crontab: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/ # run-parts 01 * * * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 02 4 * * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.daily 22 4 * * 0 root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 42 4 1 * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.monthly 00 3 * * * /root/vscan 00 5 * * * /home/laptop/laptop.backup 00 6 * * 0 /home/laptop/sunday.backups 00 2 * * * /root/updates 00 1 * * * /usr/local/f-prot/tools/check-updates.pl 00 7 1 * * /home/laptop/monthly.backups -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Business Computer Projects - Disclaimer -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- This message, and any associated attachment is confidential.
