Sarg Daily Report not generated

I made a mistake, I edited /etc/crontab via copy and paste. And those crontab entries are not working.

Don't know how well I placed this thread but here we go:

I have my personal user (the only user other than root on the system) cron and it goes like so:

Code:

# m h dom mon dow user    command

# ~MAIN 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * 2,4,5,7,8,11 * rikedyp /home/rikedyp/Wallpapers/normal-bg

I have written 7 scripts all together into 1 script called runall.sh in my /home/student directory. I want to use crontab to run this script every day at night (11:00 PM).

I have tried the following using crontab -e:

PATH=/home/student 00 23 * * * /home/student/runall.sh >> /var/log/script_output.log 2>&1

I have also tried putting this in /etc/crontab like this:

SHELL=/bin/sh PAT

After upgrading from Mythbuntu 11.04 to 12.03 cron does not appear to be working. I have scripts in /etc/cron.daily and /etc/cron.weekly that aren't running.

When I noticed that the backupscript I placed in /etc/cron.weekly on my Debian6 server isn't executed I placed this small script in it, to see if the weekly cronjob is executed at all:

#!/bin/bash echo 'CRON RAN' > /var/log/cron-weekly-runcheck.log

saved it as

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 64 Jul 15 02:14 /etc/cron.weekly/runcheck.sh

When I checked today, the logfile it was supposed to create di

I put in a command for crontab but nothing seems to be happening.

#vi /etc/crontab

SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/ # For details see man 4 crontabs # Example of job definition: # .---------------- minute (0 - 59) # | .------------- hour (0 - 23) # | | .---------- day of month (1 - 31) # | | | .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ... # | | | |

Thanks for the tip, I did not think of looking there.I've created crontab in /etc/ with command "sudo touch /etc/crontab".But it looks like it did not help.

Hi,

I wanted to use cron to play a media file at a certain time (i.e. use it as an alarm clock). However it seems to do nothing. I am not sure what I am doing wrong and would like some help. The contents of my crontab is:

SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/
