Comment: Hi I face some difficulty when modify my existing cronfile and
schedule a new job
eg.(10 12 * * * cd /data/schedule; ./elpida_link > /data/schedule/elpida.log)
After modify and saved the cronfile (vi cronfile) ,i issued a command "crontab cronfile" to submit the new cronfile to cron.
I wait and wait but it seem that the job didnt start at all
Anyone can help to offer some advise. Thanks

Reply: (edit)Make sure that the script is executable by the user trying to run it. Also, have a look at your cron log. Not sure where it's at on HPUX though... /var/cron/log ??? -jim

Reply: (edit)cd to /data/schedule Make sure that elpida_link has execute permission by running ls -l. Use chmod to set execute permission. example:
chmod 755 elpida_link Sets execute for all users. man chown and chmod for more info. -jim
