Any suggestions of where I should look to resolve this problem?  I'm still fairly new with using UNIX.  Thanks!


Hello.  I understand the basics of crontab.  I added two entries to my crontab file a few months ago and now they don't work any more.  I haven't done anything to the script in the crontab file nor I have done anything to the file that the scripts output to.
Any suggestions of where I should look to resolve this problem?  I'm still fairly new with using UNIX.  Thanks!

couple of things come to mind.
cron isn't running? This is a daemon that executes crontab.
Your crontab access has been removed. If you are listed in /etc/cron.d/cron.deny(if exists) or not in /etc/cron.d/cron.allow.
Check your man page...man -k for more info

Hello,
somebody can have changed the PATH variable, too. Check your mail, where you can find some hints. If I were you, I would redirect the stdout and stderr from your cron job into files. It makes it possible to catch the error messages easily.

Hmmm...  I think I found the problem.  First, thanks for the help.  I was sure cron was running because two other scripts were working.  I checked the /usr/lib/cron/log file and noticed that the two scripts in question were in that file.  So, I decided to try and run the scripts manually and that didn't work.  I got an argument of "execute permission denied."  I checked the permissions on the scripts and they weren't right.
Now I'm wondering how and why the permissions changed?!?!
