I've got a little cron job, just trying to fire off a script (see http://tonyb.us/mattbot ) and it's not firing.
I have other jobs on the same crontab that do. When I run the script manually, it runs. I've tried, in my user crontab 0 * * * * /path/to/script or @hourly /path/to/script or 0 * * * * cd /path/to/ ./script and even stuck a script in /etc/cron.hourl with #!/bin/bash cd /path/to/ ./script and none of these has made the script run. I have another in my user script 05 2 * * * /path/to/another/script and it works every morning at 2:05am, like clockwork, so I can't figure why this new one isn't working. Permissions on both scripts are the same, etc. Now, I've also added a script to /usr/local/bin with the cd /path/to ./script and tried to tell cron to run that script with 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/script I'll have to wait another 35 min., now, to see if that works, but I can't figure out for the life of me why none of the other methods worked. ?? Probably something really obvious I'm overlooking, but the more I look, the less I see why there's a problem. any and all assistance appreciated in advance ./tony -- http://www.tonybaldwin.me all tony, all the time! 3F330C6E
