Hello,

I telnet into my web server to setup and config CRON, but it doesn't seem to be working, although my system admin advises me it is.

I decided to try and schedule CRON to execute a script with syntax errors, every 5 minutes. Because the script has syntax errors in it, it should throw up an internal server error each time it is run. I could then check my CGI error log to see that CRON is actually trying to run this script.

So far, I see no errors in my logs and I've come to the conclusion that CRON isn't working. Can anyone give me some things to check or how to properly test CRON?

Also, what would the command line be to execute a script, every 5 minutes? Maybe I've set the command line wrong.


Thanks for any help
