My Rh doesn't execute command in it.
I used #crontab -e, and typed
*/5 * * * * /path/script --logging arq.log
But the cron doesn't run.
If I try the script directly, it runs normally.
What is wrong ?

How do you know it doesn't run?

What is the `script` that you are running? (and is --logging a valid flag?)

What directory do you expect to find `arq.log` in?

As what user are you creating the cron job?

Also, isn't this literally the 7th thread in which you've asked this question?

I know it doesn't run because the log files aren't been Created. Running by hand,they appears.
The script I created with the command + options. I tried before putting the command there.
It was incomplete my post, be I put the directory + name of file (/tmp/file per example).
Created using root user.
I will continue posting until I solve the problem, maybe is the same of someone.
Tomorrow I will remove the --logging file to see below if works.
Thanks

Yes, it is thread number 7 for this guy. Despite having Jeremy tell him twice to stop. And despite having his nose rubbed into the instructions several times, and being spoon-fed the EXACT command to use twice.

Apparently, he thinks if he doesn't mention mrtg, we won't notice

That assumption is not safe.

Just because a log file isn't appearing where you think it should appear does NOT necessarily mean a cron job did not run.

It sounds like you are not familiar with how cron works. The most effective way for you to debug this is to start from the beginning: learn cron.

To learn cron, you should test it.

Try a simple cron task:

You see how I am hardcoding the path of the log file rather than just assuming the computer will magically know where to put it? that's important for cron jobs.

Try that. If that doesn't run, then we know the problem is with your cron system (for instance, maybe it isn't running). If it does run, then we know the problem is with your script.

Sad, but I believe you are wasting your time. Our OP seems to be write-only, no reading. Reminds me old days when we did some satellite hacking. Those smartcards had write-only chips, you were not supposed to read them ...

Do they speak English in what?

Speak it? Barely, if at all. Actually COMPREHEND things?? Unlikely, based on the now SEVEN threads opened to install MRTG. Which can be done by:

1. Typing in "yum install mrtg"
2. Simple editing of ONE config file (installed by the yum command)
3. Putting in the sample cron job from the instruction page

But that appears to be FAR too much to ask of the OP.
