This job is never running, despite having been installed a couple days ago. Then check with another job, a single command, running every two minutes till you get it running. My guess is that it doesn't like the syntax.
crontab:
* * * * * touch /tmp/crontest
Now:
GENERAL:/tmp # for i in a a a a; do ls -la crontest; sleep 60; done
Curiously, the job does indeed run. That said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this:
GENERAL:/space/backups # crontab -l ... SHELL=/bin/bash 55 23 * * * cd /space/backups && ./navigating-backups >/dev/null
Could you try it with absolute path instead of ./navigating-backups? Sandy -- List replies only please! Please address PMs to: news-reply2 (@) japantest (.) homelinux (.) com
