Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers One line of cron is not working - PLS Help Post 21692 by Kelam_Magnus on Tuesday 21st of May 2002 12:05:59 PM

Here are a few troubleshooting questions.

1) Can you run this from the command line? and not as you have in example #3 mid-way down your post?

2) Is your first cron entry also calling from http or from a unix file?

3) Just a guess but I don't know if cron can interpret the ? in your cron entries. You may need to put a \ before that ?.


Hope these help you!!
