Hi. I know that it's not working since it doesnt output in syslog that it have been runned. if i put stuff in /etc/crontab it shows in syslog when it runs it and what user running it.
ex: ------------------ /etc/crontab */15 * * * * root /home/cluster/www/www.erotik-butiken.nu/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=www.erotik-butiken.nu -update syslog: Aug 16 10:00:01 camelot /USR/SBIN/CRON[4728]: (root) CMD (/home/cluster/www/www.x.se/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=www.x.se -update) So that is working. ------------------- camelot:~# crontab -l 00 04 * * * updatedb >/dev/null 2>&1 01 03 * * * apt-get update >/dev/null 2>&1 */5 * * * * /home/cluster/www/www.xxxxxxxx.se/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=www.x.se -update -------------------- none of these have never been runned :-( It actually beats me :) never stumble upon such a wierd thing before. i've also tried a simpe date > test.txt crontab to see if it puts anything in the file but nothing happends.
