I'm trying to set up a crontab on AIX and for some reason it's not running my script at the specified time - here's what I have tried so far:
1 and 2 look OK when I go "crontab -l", seems to be fine, but my script doesn't run... any ideas?

Hmmm seems that whoever set my environment up set it up to be 1hr ahead of the current time, do'h!!! So, I'll try to re-schedule as per the server time and not the PC time.

Additionally,
1.Use full path mentioning the script location in the cron entry.
2.Check if you are (your user name) allowed to execute cron job. The sysadmin might have included you in /etc/cron.deny file. which prohibits the user from running a cron job

Cheers for the feedback. I'm working on something else at the moment (hurrah for priorities), but I'll come back to this ASAP, sometime tomorrow.
Thanks again.

@ygemici - Yes, I believe it's working in the format you metion, i.e. I can schedule the job by going "crontab <mycrontab>", that's alright. The problem is that when the server hits the time specified in the crontab, the script isn't executed. I'm still new to UNIX so I'll take a look into mail and cron logs.
@michaelrozar17 - I made sure to use the full path, but that seemed to have no effect. The sys admin says I have permissions to run crontab and I haven't received any error messages to suggest otherwise (well, any obvious errors).
