Hi, I'm trying to get a python script to run from /etc/crontab, but it won't work. I've read about the most common issues being related to paths, but my script uses no paths at all. This is my /etc/crontab line: */5 * * * * munin /usr/local/bin/python /root/myscript.py >> /var/log/myscript.log I used munin user because i already have it (can i run it under 'nobody'?). This is what /var/log/cron says: Apr 24 18:00:01 triton /usr/sbin/cron[4361]: (munin) CMD (/usr/local/bin/python /root/myscript.py >> /var/log/myscript.log) However the script doesn't seem to run at all. Obviously it works if i run it stand-alone, as any user. I'm running 7.1-RELEASE-p4, i386. What am i doing wrong? Thanks. -- Regards, Ghirai.
