Oh Dear. That means I have a problem somewhere.
I have created a simple script:
#!/bin/bash
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
# Script to check for the existence of the file ~/testfile
# If the file is present cron should send an email to warn of that fact.
#
if [ -f /home/mark/testfile ]
then
echo Warning! The file Tesfile exists!
fi
Running this from the command line produces the expected output. Running
it from cron (as my user - mark) does nothing.
What have I done wrong?
Thanks again.
Mark
