cron

["Kiran, Shashi" <Shashi dot Kiran at Galileo dot com>]

Hi,
 
I 'm trying to schedule a shell script on cygwin using cron. No matter
what
I do I don't seem to get the cron job executing my bash script.
 
My script is temp.sh
 
echo `date` > /home/test/temp.log
 
crontab -e is having the following details
 
* * * * * sh /home/test/temp.sh > /home/test/temp.sh.err 2>&1
 
I did use the paths in the script itself and I also used the windows
path
where the cygwin installed(/cygdrive/d/cygwin/).
 
I also tried using the following by editing the crontab:
 
* * * * * date > /home/test/date.txt
 
Still not working. I don't have administrator login. I ran the
cron_diagnose.sh and it din't give me any errors.
 
Please find the attached cronbug.txt
 
Thanks
Shashi
