running a crontab from command line, ad hoc

List, I know this can be done, but it escapes me how to do it. I wanted to execute a user crontab this afternoon that normally runs daily first thing in the morning. Nothing seems to work. And somehow most manuals seem to live it unsaid, you must innately know how to do this. Tips? Thanks

Re: running a crontab from command line, ad hoc

You need a different tool. Crontabs, by definition, specify tasks to runat certain times. You can't run this morning's crontab this afternoon. The crontabs are constantly monitored, and when a task becomes due, it's executed. One approach is to edit the crontab, copying the morning line(s

RE: crontab entry

Sounds like cron isn't running as root. So it is able to write a file without hard coding a path to it because it is creating the file in it's working directory. Create a directory that the user cron is running as can write to. That sounds like what the problem is. Wade Actually, Justin
