corntab / file running SSH help

Mr187 · 03-18-2010, 01:48 PM

Well, It seems to be the file i am trying to add to the corntab works fine, I mean like if i go on SSH and do for an example

Quote:

cd /opt/server/

Now i am at the folder of my "server".
If i type in SSH

Quote:

sh /opt/server/checkonline.sh

it works, and checks if its online or not.

now if i just open ssh fresh and try to do

Quote:

sh /opt/server/checkonline.sh

it just won't reply anything, which other way it does.

and when ever i try to add it to the corntab like such

Quote:

1 * * * * /opt/server/checkonline.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

It doesn't work, comes up wit error "E486: Pattern not found" etc, Can somebody please help and sorry for the "newbie" question..

Corntab? Best misspelling ever.

Sorry mean Cron Job, Not really knowing what they mean or understand just got into linux yesterday.

And checkonline.sh is working fine, its just the fact that it won't add to cron job, and if i try to link to it at normal SSH right away at cd ~ it just doesn't say anything but if i do go to the folder its in, it works and textes me back "Server is Working" etc.
