Jona, creo que hablas espaņol, explicame en espaņol un poco mejor tu problema y en que te encuentras parado(a) para ver si te puedo dar una manito, bye.

PD: La recomendacion de arriba es cierta, el crontab acepta las entradas de fechas y horas con dos digitos, es decir, utiliza 00 01 02 03 etc.

check logs and output

Hi,

Can you please check the cron log file and what is the exit status given for the mentioned jobs ?
check if this job is eecuted in cron and get the exit status.
also try running the script with all the options you specified in the crontab on command line and check whether its running or not. Then do let us know what is the output.

After you edit the cron table: crontab -e
you as a superuser will then have to restart the cron by.
1. go to /etc/cron.d (solaris 5.+)
2. find a file FIFO and remove it.
3. type
ps -ef | grep cron # to find cron process id.
4. kill the cron process.
kill -9 <cron process id>
5. start "cron" deamon.
/usr/sbin/cron
6. check whether there is the FIFO file in /etc/cron.d and the new cron process id appear.

The modification on crontab table will not activate with out restart it.
