CRON

Joe Crocetta
Membercan anyone see anything wrong with this:
root@mail:~# crontab -l
# m h dom mon dow command
*/5 * * * * scripts/allsitescron.shI added the cron.allow file with root
and I added the at.allow file with root.I can execute the script from root@mail:~# and it works with no issues.
I stopped and started cron ...
Anyone have any ideas why my crontab is not working???I also tried with (a leading slash, no luck)
# m h dom mon dow command
*/5 * * * * /scripts/allsitescron.shPosted 7 months ago # -

Memberit says it ran in the syslog
Oct 20 18:00:01 mail CRON[31220]: (root) CMD (scripts/allsitescron.sh)
but when I check my website report status it never shows that it ran.... hmmmmm I'm stumped.
When I run it manually I see the update on my site report status page as being run x seconds ago. So I know it works but not as a CRON process

MemberI found an answer.
http://unixgeeks.org/security/newbie/unix/cron-1.htmlThis link goes through both multi and single user configurations.
Seemingly the Linode vps that we have set up with the_guv is not receptive to multi-user crons ... Or at least I did not configure it correctly for multi-user cron activity.
Instead I simply edited the crontab file directly, it is located in the /etc/ directory on our linode vps's.
Hope this helps someone.
