Can anyone think of something that can stop cron working for a particular user?
I just noticed on one of our 6.1 machines the crontab for a particular user
wasn't run properly since dec 21. There were hourly and daily jobs, but neither
seemed to be running.
Looked in var/cron and see no deny or allow files. The user x had an proper
crontab.
In the end I modified the users crontab and rewrote it
before
##################
SHELL=/bin/sh
MAILTO=user
13 3 * * * $HOME/bin/daily
19 * * * * $HOME/bin/hourly
after
##################
SHELL=/bin/sh
MAILTO=user
13 3 * * * /home/user/bin/daily
41 * * * * /home/user/bin/hourly
and at 41 past the hour the hourly job came back.
Is it the HOME variable or the act of rewriting? User did have home defined in
/etc/passwd.
