Hi, I wrote a perl script to get a news show I like. When I run it, it deletes yesterday's copy of the show, and downloads the new copy. The script works fine. I run the script as myself (charlie), charlie owns it, and it's chmod'd 0755. Works fine. I can't get cron to run it, though. Here's the cron process running on my machine: charlie@dash$ ps auxwww | grep cron root 413 0.0 0.1 1364 892 ?? Ss 5Jan07 0:06.57/usr/sbin/cron -s And here's charlie's crontab, to run at 7:17 mon - fri 17 7 * * 1-5 /media/democracy_now/get_new_show.pl ? Charlie
