user cron jobs
I can't seem toget user cron jobs to run on my system. As I'm reading
man 1 and 5 for crontab, I should be able to have the line
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * ch1quiz /usr/local/bin/updatehw 2>>& $HOME/tmp.quizlog
in /etc/crontab, and every ten minutes user ch1quiz will run
/usr/local/bin/updatehw with the output and errors appended to
tmp.quizlog in its home directory. But nothing seems to happen. What
am I missing? I've even tried stopping & restarting the daemon, even
though it says that this is unnecessary.
The ch*quiz accounts exist only to collect student homework; the script
updates a web page so that they can confirm that their homework has
been received.
