Hi gurus,
As I cannot make cron to execute my crontab, I have checked
some earlier posts. I have verified ownership:
/var contains:
drwxrwxrwt+ 3 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 Mar 13 10:32 cron
/var/cron contains:
drwxrwxrwt+ 2 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 May 7 11:29 tabs
/var/cron/tabs contains:
-rwxr--r--+ 1 sysaccou none 290 May 7 11:29 sysaccount
'crontab -l' yields:
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
# mail any output to 'sysaccount', no matter whose crontab this is
MAILTO=sysaccount
* * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /home/sysaccount/date.log 2>&1
* * * * * /home/sysaccount/mpu.sh >> /home/sysaccount/mpu.log 2>&1
/home/sysaccount contains:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 sysaccou none 171 May 7 15:25 mpu.sh
mpu.sh contains:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/date >> /home/sysaccount/mpu.log
date.log is updated once a minute as expected:
Wed May 7 15:24:00 WEDT 2003
Wed May 7 15:25:00 WEDT 2003
Wed May 7 15:26:00 WEDT 2003
There is no mpu.log . Why ?
What have I missed ?
