HI,
i am working on linux.
i have crontab problem
i wrote a small script and put it in a crontab .
but the script is not running..
i have given following way in crontab -e
02 06 * * * /bin/csh /home/vr_test.csh
but the above script is not running
please rectify my problem
regards
rajan
are you able to run the script through command line.
and using ./scriptname.csh in the crontab may help you, like
02 06 * * * cd /bin/csh /home/; ./script.csh
from command line i am able to run the script
./test.csh
i modified crontab with your script but it is not working..
your script is kept at what path?
/home/xtuser/test.csh
try giving
2 6 * * * cd /home/xtuser/; ./test.csh
no use
not working
Two points to consider here....
1)I made a small mistake while posting the previous message. I have edited it now so check with the following entry
2 6 * * * cd /home/xtuser/; ./test.csh
2)have you modified the time entries properly, because according to the entries given in the script it will run at 06:02 am everyday?
if still not working let me know, because now it should work.
not working
i have give like this.
sorrry inplace of teradm, xtuser i wrote.
08 07 * * * cd /home/teradm/; ./test.csh
tail the log file kept at /var/adm/cron/ and check if your job was called as scheduled
log is like this
Feb 18 07:05:59 incois-a crontab[2980]: (teradm) REPLACE (teradm)
Feb 18 07:05:59 incois-a crontab[2980]: (teradm) END EDIT (teradm)

sorry brother no idea, why its not working,
I am not able to make out the problem from the log

wait for some guru to throw light on it,
i have no idea why its not working
show me your vr_test.csh code
##test.csh
echo "varadatrasdf" > name
#set dat=`"date"`
ls -l > pas
