Crontab not working

Neorio · 11-19-2003, 02:51 AM

I've make an entry into BSD's crontab -e that looks like this:-

*/10 * * * * /usr/admin/test.sh

and I did ps -ax to see if cron was running. It was.
I restarted it anyway, but my cron job is just NOT starting. I waited and waited and waited.... but nothing.
Note, that I did this all as root superuser.

It just seems as if crontab just doesn't want to work.

Can anyone help?

Well to be honest, some stuff like this hapened to me with FreeBSD.
I don't know why it fails, but it shouldn't.
Try to edit manualy your config (/etc/crontab) file and -HUP the crontab daemon.
