Hi Igor, thanks for your quicky reply! I tryed in this way
$ crontab -l
10 14 * * * /bin/date >> /usr/tmp/date.out 2>&1
but doesn't work!!
In attch. files is generated from:
$ cat /var/log/cron.log > cron.log.txt
$ ps -elf > ps-elf.txt
I've also changed the permission of my cron.pid
$ chown a+x /var/run/cron.pid
$ ls -l /var/run/cron.pid
In event.log the Windows Event Log output.. IMHO is generated from
$ crontab -l
Thanks
Orfeo
