crontab Problems
Posted: 28 May 2010 09:33
I have 3 video's I'm trying to play as a playlist at 8 am. I've checked in the terminal and as a regular script that this works fine. Right now I'm just trying to get it working so I'm using wildcards for the time and day. I tried it with sourcing and without sourcing in the crontab. Then I tried to run it as a regular script with no luck. I've checked that my script runs fine in the terminal. I also did this with sourcing and without sourcing. I really don't understand what I'm doing wrong so any help would be appreciated.
I have also checked the /etc/cron.deny and /etc/cron.allow and there are no problems in those files.
I set up a simple echo script so I know its actually doing its job.
Code: Select all
* * * * * vlc -L /home/vids/vid1 /home/vids/vid2 /home/vids/vid3
* * * * * /home/bob/Desktop/yo
* * * * * . /home/bob/Desktop/yoI set up a simple echo script so I know its actually doing its job.
Code: Select all
* * * * * echo hi >> /home/bob/Desktop/come
