Hi all, I'm running Suse Linux 9.3, and I'm having problems with cron not actually running cron jobs. I suspect this is the kind of profile issue that commonly happens with cron jobs, but I don't have any idea how to debug it. For example, if as root, I run crontab -e and enter the following very simple cron job: 22 12 * * * /usr/bin/touch /root/hello.root In /var/log/messages, I have the following output: Dec 2 12:21:23 hypervisor1 crontab[7015]: (root) BEGIN EDIT (root) Dec 2 12:21:25 hypervisor1 crontab[7015]: (root) REPLACE (root) Dec 2 12:21:25 hypervisor1 crontab[7015]: (root) END EDIT (root) Dec 2 12:22:01 hypervisor1 /usr/sbin/cron[6536]: (root) RELOAD (tabs/root) so it sure seems like cron is waking up, finding the job, and then going back to sleep. However, the file that should be touch-ed is not there, and there are no error messages, either in /var/log/messages or as an email. Can anyone give me advice on how to debug this problem, or why cron does not appear to be actually running the job? Thanks, Eric
