Hello gang,
I am having issues with crond.
I do crontab -e nobody and add the line:
1 * * * * /bin/touch /root/foo
and then save it. However, nothing happens. None of my cron jobs are getting done. The example above is supposed to create the file foo in my root directory (because it is not there now). However the file never shows up. Also, my updatedb command isn't being executed at 2 am like it is set to, etc... ps -ax shows the crond daemon running. Does anyone know why my crond just seemed to have stopped working? It was working fine about 2 days ago.
Thanks,
Ad
ps by the way, I am using Slack 7.1 if that makes a difference.
