Hello guys, I have a problem with cron. I got a program for updating my ip to a internet dns host and i set it up correctly. The program works. Now with the program came a file that i putt in the /etc/cron.d dir because the program instructed me to do that. Basically what I want to do is to let the program run once a minute. The file I putt in the cron.d dir contains these entries :
* * * * * root /usr/bin/ipdetect.sh */15 * * * * root /usr/bin/ipdetect.sh -p host -r browser -c
The above lines should be either be added to the /etc/crontab file. (DO NOT overwrite the /etc/crontab file as it runs the /usr/lib/cron/run-crons file and this will break other stuff). Or preferably you should add SHELL=/bin/sh at the beginning of the file to force it to run the bash shell.. If you mail to be sent flagging a result MAILTO=<your account> The man page for cron is not strictly accurate for the SuSE distro... but man 5 crontab should give further details that are good.
Now cron doesn't run the ipdetect script, never. I did some
It wont,
investigation and I found out that cron doesn't have any log files or conf files on my system, which I thought was a bit strange. So all I did was to putt the file in the /etc/cron.d dir, do I have to do anything else or is the a problem with the cronsetup on my system or what do you guys think. If I do a ps aux then I find that cron is running on the system from boot. Thx guys for your aid. Regards, mohed.
