crontab -e does not run - AndyM - 06-09-2023
I set up a cron job for user with crontab -e but is does not run. If I set the same job for root then it runs fine. I do not have cron.allow in /etc and cron.deny is empty.
Code:
SHELL=/usr/bin/sh
MAILTO=""
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
# Example of job definition:
# .---------------- minute (0 - 59)
# | .------------- hour (0 - 23)
# | | .---------- day of month (1 - 31)
# | | | .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ...
# | | | | .---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat
# | | | | |
# run update job every minute
* * * * * /home/user/bin/update
The crontab file ends with a blank line and cr. The update script is executable. The crontab file is added to /etc/crontabs which is linked to /var/spool/cron and is created by crontab as "-rw------- 1 user root".
So where have I gone wrong.
