Query regarding cron jobs

[Ankit Mahawar]

Hi ,

I have a file created in /etc/cron.d which has an entry which execute a
command at the time interval specified .

But due to some reason it is not getting executed and the entry is still
there .

I have checked the cron daemon is running

Could you please tell the scenario in which this can happen ?

Also ,

What is the difference between entries in /etc/cron.d and /etc/crontab
file .


Regards
Ankit ,
