Re: Crintab Problem

["Phantazm" <phantazm@phantazm.nu>]

Hi.

I know that it's not working since it doesnt output in syslog that it have 
been runned.
if i put stuff in /etc/crontab it shows in syslog when it runs it and what 
user running it.

ex:
------------------
/etc/crontab
*/15 * * * *     root 
/home/cluster/www/www.erotik-butiken.nu/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=www.erotik-butiken.nu 
 -update

syslog:
Aug 16 10:00:01 camelot /USR/SBIN/CRON[4728]: (root) CMD 
(/home/cluster/www/www.x.se/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=www.x.se -update)

So that is working.
-------------------
camelot:~# crontab -l
00 04 * * *     updatedb >/dev/null 2>&1
01 03 * * *     apt-get update >/dev/null 2>&1
*/5 * * * * 
    /home/cluster/www/www.xxxxxxxx.se/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=www.x.se -update
--------------------
none of these have never been runned :-(
It actually beats me :) never stumble upon such a wierd thing before.

i've also tried a simpe date > test.txt crontab to see if it puts anything 
in the file but nothing happends.

Thank you for your time bob.
