little crontab question?
Hello list:
I'd like to run every 4 hours a script, not as root but under user
whatever.
As root I did:
crontab -u whatever -e (to edit crontab). vi popped up and I entered the
following lines...
#minute hour mday month wday command
#
0 4 * * * /home/whatever/build/build_test
when saved and quit...
crontab: installing new crontab
But it seems like the crontab isn't executing. The user 'whatever' is in
/var/cron/allow
cat /var/cron/allow
whatever
that's it.
Shall I check something else? I also added this user to wheel group.
FYI: the script runs O.K. if I log on as 'whatever' and do
./build_test
So it's executable.
Regards,
Martin Marconcini
