I have my computers registered with the Linux Counter, and my main

58 11 * * 4 /home/joe/bin/lico-update.sh -m

The permissions on the script are right, and if run manually, it works.
   This worked fine under Fedora 16, but doesn't now that I'm running F
17.  Does anybody know what's happened, or how to find out?

How/where did you install this cron job? In "joe"'s crontab via "crontab -e"?
Or in the system-wide crontab (e.g. one of/etc/cron*)?

How did you reach the conclusion that the job isn't executed at all?
Does /var/log/cron mention it? Do other cron jobs work for you if you
install them in the same way?


As the included comment says, it was added to my crontab by the script when I ran the installation routine, and I checked it with crontab -l to make sure exactly what it said. I came to the conclusion that it's not getting run because of two things: the page at the Linux Counter doesn't update when it should and there's no mention of the script being run in /var/log/cron. However, if I run the script from the command line, the counter updates.
