Could anyone help with a cronjob problem?
Hello
Could anyone help with a cronjob problem.
This is the cronjob -
3,10,15 * * * * /bin/bash /home/admin-user/hl/bash-mysql.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
when I run this from the command line -
/bin/bash /home/admin-user/hl/bash-mysql.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
It all works, so I'm guessing it's something wrong with the crontab it's self, but I'm at loss with what's wrong.
Below is the status, which show something is running -
Jul 21 17:55:01 ML CRON[42571]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root(uid=0) by (uid=0)
Jul 21 17:55:01 ML CRON[42570]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root(uid=0) by (uid=0)

Jul 21 18:03:01 ML CRON[42690]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

This has now been solved -
I needed to sue /etc/crontab instead of crontab -e
Thanks
