specfies that the command ksh /home/cpac/SPID_Files/GetFiles.ksh is to be run at 06:50 on every day that is a Sunday and on every day with a day of month that is is from 8 through 31 inclusive. So, in November 2014, it would run on the 2nd and the 8th through the 30th.

I have written a custom cron. This cron executes a rake task every 5 minutes. I also log the trace of this execution in a file locally on my server. The whole process seems to execute seamlessly every 5 minutes, but then it seems to log it in /var/log/syslog. I investigated on the syslog and found... (0 Replies)

Good Afternoon,
I have a sh script that the admin added to the cron schedule.
It runs fine when I run it manually...but not when scheduled.
I added the path that is found for my user to the script. Still no luck.
Any ideas what I should look at?
Thanks

cron
CRON(8) System Manager's Manual CRON(8)NAME
cron - daemon to execute scheduled commands (Vixie Cron)
SYNOPSIS
cron
DESCRIPTION
Cron should be started from /etc/rc or /etc/rc.local. It will return immediately, so you don't need to start it with '&'.
Cron searches /var/spool/cron for crontab files which are named after accounts in /etc/passwd; crontabs found are loaded into memory. Cron
also searches for /etc/crontab and the files in the /etc/cron.d/ directory, which are in a different format (see crontab(5)). Cron then
wakes up every minute, examining all stored crontabs, checking each command to see if it should be run in the current minute. When execut-
ing commands, any output is mailed to the owner of the crontab (or to the user named in the MAILTO environment variable in the crontab, if
such exists).
Additionally, cron checks each minute to see if its spool directory's modtime (or the modtime on /etc/crontab) has changed, and if it has,
cron will then examine the modtime on all crontabs and reload those which have changed. Thus cron need not be restarted whenever a crontab
file is modified. Note that the Crontab(1) command updates the modtime of the spool directory whenever it changes a crontab.
