Crontab job to run every sunday

Hello,

I wanted to run one of my shell script for every sunday at 5PM.

Here is the crontab entry i am using..

00 17 * * 0 /inventory/update.sh > /inventory/update.log 2>&1

The job is not kicking on sunday at the specified time.. Am i missing anthing?

Any help is appreciated...

The syntax is correct for the job. Have you checked the cron log for any leads on what might be causing the problem?

now i got it... The shell script does not have correct privileges.. I fixed it. thank you again
