I have my screencapture program running under cron on my machine. So I figured I would do the same on some client machines for which I have set up an admin account. But it doesn't work on the client machines. Here is what I have: On my machine: $ crontab -l 0,30 7-16 * * 1-6 /users/marleygraham/screenpict Where screenpict is the script: #!/bin/bash /usr/sbin/screencapture mg$(/users/marleygraham/exacttime) exit And exacttime is the script: #!/bin/bash /bin/date +%r > tempdate awk '{print $1}' tempdate rm tempdate exit On the client machine, I have set up an admin user isadmin. I logged onto the client over ssh and set up the cron job using crontab -e. Then I copied the scripts to the client using ARD copy, changed the owner to isadmin, and edited to change the username. So on the client I have: n$ crontab -l 0,30 7-16 * * 1-6 /screenpicsa Where screenpicsa is: #!/bin/bash /usr/sbin/screencapture /isscreen$(/exacttime) exit And exacttime is: #!/bin/bash /bin/date +%r > tempdate awk '{print $1}' tempdate rm tempdate exit The files look like: -rwxr-xr-x 1 isadmin isadmin 82 22 Jun 16:40 exacttime -rwxr-xr-x 1 isadmin isadmin 67 23 Jun 08:21 screenpicsa I am not getting any files generated by cron. Any ideas why? Marley Graham Aqua-Flo Supply ==============
