Check /var/log/syslog and look for entries that look like this: Aug 15 07:17:01 dementia /USR/SBIN/CRON[15925]: (root) CMD (run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) > Just installed 3 debian boxes just running heartbeat and failover for > apache/bind9/dhcpd/mysql 4.1 and some other services and on none of the > machines crontab is working :( How do you know the crontabs are not working? What have you tried? Start with something simple. Write a little script that does nothing but the following: #!/bin/sh date -R > /tmp/hello.out Call that from cron. Verify that it is writing to the file or that it is not writing to the file. What does the /var/log/syslog say in this case? > Wierd. > > If you help me i buy you an icecream :) Better yet, you help someone else solve another problem in the future. You can't really pay these things back. You can only pay them forward. :-) Bob
