Thanks Steven and Keith. There were 2 problems. crontab in my fedora setup had "root" inserted after the time params and the fedora version of cron took that as a command. Then my second problem was that my editor for some silly reason thought they were windoze files rather than unix... All happy now. :) Gerry On 1/21/06, httpd2@xxxxxxxxxxxx <httpd2@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Check this out Gerry. > > http://www.clockwatchers.com/cron_general.html > > Keith > > In theory, theory and practice are the same; > In practice they are not. > > On Sat, 21 Jan 2006, Gerry Danen wrote: > > > To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > From: Gerry Danen <gdanen@xxxxxxxxx> > > Subject: [users@httpd] OT question > > > > Where would I go to ask questions about cron? > > > > I keep getting /bin/bash: root: command not found > > > > Sorry for the OT post... > > > > Gerry > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project. > > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > " from the digest: users-digest-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project. > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > " from the digest: users-digest-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > -- Gerry http://portal.danen.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
