Query regarding cron jobs

[Ankit Mahawar]

Hi

Thanks

How long does it run? Are you sure that one isn't running so long that
cron doesn't start the next? ..

 killed the process before scheduling the next ..

Do you mean /, or /root/? Put an env statement in the script, and have
that print it to a file, then examine your paths.

from /.



Regards
Ankit

You clearly don't understand what we're asking/telling you. I've never
used cron.d; either I set up a cron job via crontab - and you can *allow*
or disallow any user from having a crontab, or it's in /etc/cron.hourly,
/etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly, or /etc/cron.monthly.

        mark "and the pipe sign - "|", means "or""
