Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a cron job setup in freebsd that is not being executed for some reason. I have used them time and time again in linux and on other bsd systems, but for some reason this is not executing -- there is nothing wrong with the path/executable. Here is what I have in /var/cron/tabs/roo# logcheck 0 * * * * /usr/local/etc/logcheck/logcheck.sh # seti@home 0 * * * * cd /root/setiathome ; ./setiathome -nice 19 > /dev/null 2> /dev/null # date & time 0 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate clock.isc.org > /dev/null 2> /dev/null the top one doesn't seem to be running. I just added it today and even sent a HUP to cron. I really do not want to reboot in order to get this working.. not sure whats going on here.. am I am missing something? I can type /usr/local/etc/logcheck/logcheck.sh and the program does what it suppose to. at a lost. any help would be apprecated. thanks.
