Hi everyone

In an existing crontab script for the root user, I've added 5 new lines of code, however for some unknown reason, these lines of code were not executed.

Here is what I did

Code:

30 0 * * * ./usr/people/atlab/jamesgoh/disk_reader/disk_reporter /picnic
30 0 * * * ./usr/people/atlab/jamesgoh/disk_reader/disk_reporter /paradise
30 0 * * * ./usr/people/atlab/jamesgoh/disk_reader/disk_reporter /chopper
30 0 * * * ./usr/people/atlab/jamesgoh/disk_reader/disk_reporter /bliss
30 0 * * * ./usr/people/atlab/jamesgoh/disk_reader/disk_reporter /nugget

The general idea is that at 12:30 am (that is midnight + 30 mins) each night a C-program called disk_reporter runs to gather disk usage information on the parameter disks (picnic, chopper, bliss, nugget).

If im not mistaken, the syntax of my code above should be correct

Also, when doing an ls -al, I found that the root crontab file (the one Im editing) has read only permsissions for all users and groups in general (it was showing -r--r--r--), however given that I was able to add 5 extra lines of code this is quite bizzare.

However Im still not sure what I've done wrong ? Can anyone help me out here ?
