Hi,
As i have mentioned that it was only for the first time i scheduled, it updated the /var/adm/cron/log with rc = 127
and later after that I tried by giving the correct path but still the
" Log files were never updated " - dont know why this happens??????
Even simple commands are not executing after that through cron.
I hope stoping and restarting of cron will do or resatring the system.
If any other possiblilties other than the above pls let me know
